Convert pound-foot/second to Btu (th)/second
Please provide values below to convert pound-foot/second [lbf*ft/s] to Btu (th)/second [Btu(th)/s], or Convert Btu (th)/second to pound-foot/second.
1 lbf*ft/s = 0.00128592777541 Btu(th)/s. To convert pound-foot/second to Btu (th)/second, multiply the value by 0.00128592777541; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Btu(th)/s = 777.648651133 lbf*ft/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Pound-Foot/second
A pound-foot per second (lbf·ft/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred, equivalent to one pound-force acting through a distance of one foot per second.
History/Origin
The pound-foot per second has been used primarily in engineering contexts within the Imperial system to quantify power, especially in mechanical and automotive applications, though it is less common than other units like horsepower.
Current Use
Today, the pound-foot per second is rarely used; it is mainly referenced in historical data or specific engineering calculations involving Imperial units, with the more standard unit of power being the horsepower or the watt in SI units.
Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
