Convert foot pound-force/second to kilocalorie (th)/hour
Please provide values below to convert foot pound-force/second [ft*lbf/s] to kilocalorie (th)/hour [kcal(th)/h], or Convert kilocalorie (th)/hour to foot pound-force/second.
1 ft*lbf/s = 1.16657376418 kcal(th)/h. To convert foot pound-force/second to kilocalorie (th)/hour, multiply the value by 1.16657376418; to go the other way, divide by it (1 kcal(th)/h = 0.857211117466 ft*lbf/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

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.
Kilocalorie (Th)/hour
A kilocalorie (th)/hour (kcal(th)/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy in kilocalories per hour is transferred or converted.
History/Origin
The kilocalorie, often used in nutrition and energy measurement, has been adapted into various units including the thermochemical kilocalorie (kcal(th)). Its use in power measurement, such as kcal(th)/h, is primarily for specialized scientific and engineering applications, integrating energy units with time to express power.
Current Use
The kcal(th)/h unit is used in contexts requiring the measurement of energy transfer rates in thermochemical terms, such as in thermal engineering, calorimetry, and energy efficiency assessments where energy flow is expressed in kilocalories per hour.
