What does pound-foot/second measure?

It is an Imperial unit of power representing one pound-force foot of work done per second, indicating the rate of mechanical energy transfer.

Why convert pound-foot/second to kilojoule/second?

Converting allows translating mechanical power from Imperial units into a widely recognized SI power unit useful for comparison and integration in engineering contexts.

Is kilojoule/second the same as kilowatt?

Yes, 1 kilojoule/second is equivalent to 1 kilowatt, both representing 1,000 watts of power.
