Convert foot pound-force/hour to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert foot pound-force/hour [ft*lbf/h] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to foot pound-force/hour.
1 ft*lbf/h = 3.7662e-16 TJ/s. To convert foot pound-force/hour to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 3.7662e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 2.6552e+15 ft*lbf/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ft*lbf/h = 3.7662e-16 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 2.6552e+15 ft*lbf/h
- 10 ft*lbf/h = 3.7662e-15 TJ/s
- 100 ft*lbf/h = 3.7662e-14 TJ/s
How to Convert Foot Pound-Force/hour to Terajoule/second
1 ft*lbf/h = 3.76616e-16 TJ/s

Foot Pound-Force/hour
Foot pound-force per hour (ft*lbf/h) is a unit of power representing the amount of work done in foot-pounds over the period of one hour.
History/Origin
The foot pound-force is an imperial unit of work or energy, and its use in power measurements like ft*lbf/h has been common in engineering fields in the United States. It has been used historically in mechanical and thermodynamic contexts before the adoption of SI units.
Current Use
Today, ft*lbf/h is primarily used in specific engineering applications, such as in the measurement of small power outputs in mechanical systems, though it is largely replaced by SI units like watts in most scientific and international contexts.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 foot pound-force/hour in terajoule/second?
1 foot pound-force/hour (ft*lbf/h) = 3.7662e-16 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert foot pound-force/hour to terajoule/second?
