What does the unit pound-foot per second represent?

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

How is kilocalorie (th) per minute used?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, often in physiology, calorimetry, and heating equipment ratings.

Why should I convert between these units?

Converting helps translate mechanical power in Imperial units into thermal power units meaningful for physiology, calorimetry, or heat output assessments.
