Convert calorie (IT)/second to foot pound-force/second
Please provide values below to convert calorie (IT)/second [cal/s] to foot pound-force/second [ft*lbf/s], or Convert foot pound-force/second to calorie (IT)/second.
1 cal/s = 3088.02520279 ft*lbf/s. To convert calorie (IT)/second to foot pound-force/second, multiply the value by 3088.02520279; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ft*lbf/s = 0.000323831553931 cal/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Calorie (It)/second
Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in calories is transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The calorie, originally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius, has been used in various contexts including nutrition and thermodynamics. The use of calories per second as a power unit became common in scientific and engineering fields to quantify energy transfer rates before the adoption of the SI unit watt.
Current Use
Calorie per second is primarily used in scientific research, thermodynamics, and certain engineering applications to measure power, especially in contexts where energy transfer in calories is relevant. It is less common in everyday use, having been largely replaced by the watt (W) in SI units.
Foot Pound-Force/second
The foot pound-force per second (ft·lbf/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of work done or energy transferred, where one foot pound-force is the work done when a force of one pound-force moves an object one foot.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force per second has been used historically in engineering and physics, especially in the United States, as a practical unit of power in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the foot pound-force per second is primarily used in certain engineering fields, such as mechanical and aerospace engineering, for expressing power in systems where imperial units are standard, though it is less common with the global shift towards SI units.
