Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)

Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).

History/Origin

The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.

Current Use

Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.


Mbh

MBH (Thousand British Thermal Units per Hour) is a unit of power used to measure the heat output of heating and cooling systems, equivalent to 1,000 BTU per hour.

History/Origin

The MBH unit originated in the HVAC industry as a practical way to quantify large heating and cooling capacities, especially in commercial applications, aligning with the British thermal unit (BTU) system used in the United States.

Current Use

Today, MBH is commonly used in the HVAC industry to specify the capacity of boilers, furnaces, and air conditioning units, facilitating standardized communication of heating and cooling power in commercial and industrial settings.
