What does one pound-foot/second represent?

It is an Imperial mechanical power unit representing one pound-force foot of work performed each second.

Why convert pound-foot/second to kilocalorie (th)/hour?

Converting helps relate mechanical power values expressed in Imperial units to thermal power measurements used in heat flow and energy transfer contexts.

Can I use this conversion for all power calculations?

This conversion is appropriate when dealing with mechanical versus thermal power comparisons but may not apply directly for every power calculation scenario.
