What does kilojoule per minute measure?

Kilojoule per minute measures the rate of energy transfer or power where one kilojoule of energy is transferred or consumed every minute.

Why use foot pound-force per second?

Foot pound-force per second is used to express mechanical power in imperial units, particularly for hand tools, engines, and torque-related calculations.

Can I convert instantaneous power using this tool?

This tool assumes steady power rates; rapidly changing power values may require different methods.

What Is This Tool?

This tool enables conversion of power units from kilojoule per minute, a metric unit measuring energy transfer per minute, to foot pound-force per second, an imperial unit measuring mechanical power. It facilitates comparisons between metric and imperial power measurements commonly used across engineering and physical sciences.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in kilojoule per minute (kJ/min).
Select kilojoule per minute as the input unit and foot pound-force per second as the output unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent value in foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s).
Review the output to apply in your calculations or comparisons.

Key Features

Converts power values from kJ/min to ft·lbf/s using a defined conversion rate.
Supports applications in mechanical engineering, exercise physiology, and calorimetry.
Includes clear example calculations for ease of understanding.
Provides definitions and typical use cases of both units.
Browser-based and easy to use without additional software.

Examples

Convert 5 kJ/min: 5 × 12.292702488 = 61.46351244 ft·lbf/s
Convert 0.1 kJ/min: 0.1 × 12.292702488 = 1.2292702488 ft·lbf/s

Common Use Cases

Reporting metabolic energy expenditure in exercise physiology measured per minute.
Describing heating or cooling rates in laboratory calorimetry with minute-based energy measurements.
Specifying power of small appliances or mechanical processes over minute intervals.
Calculating mechanical power outputs of hand tools or small engines using imperial units.
Converting power measurements to or from horsepower in mechanical engineering.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady power rates when applying this conversion to maintain accuracy.
Use the provided conversion formula for precise calculations between these units.
Be mindful that the foot pound-force per second is a specialized unit and SI units are preferred in scientific contexts.
Double-check input values for correct units to avoid incorrect conversions.
Use this tool to facilitate comparisons between metric and imperial power units efficiently.

Limitations

Assumes steady power output; rapid fluctuations may not convert accurately.
Conversion involves a non-integer factor, which can introduce rounding variations.
Foot pound-force per second is largely historical or used in niche fields, limiting its general applicability.
