About Inch-Pound-Force
An inch-pound-force (in·lbf) is the work done by one pound-force through one inch - exactly 0.11298482902761670 J (= 1/12 ft·lbf). It is the dominant torque unit for small fasteners and precision instruments in the US: a #6-32 screw in aluminium is torqued to 4-6 in·lbf; a dental implant abutment screw to ~25-30 Ncm (2.2-2.7 in·lbf). Hobby servo motor torque is quoted in oz·in (1 in·lbf = 16 oz·in). Bicycle stem bolts are typically 4-6 Nm (35-53 in·lbf). 1 in·lbf = 0.11298 J = 1/12 ft·lbf = 11.298 Ncm.
About Megawatt-Hours
A megawatt-hour (MWh) is the energy from 1 MW for one hour - exactly 3.6 GJ. It is the standard unit for wholesale electricity trading. Power purchase agreements (PPAs) specify capacity and price in $/MWh or €/MWh. A 5 MW wind turbine at full capacity generates 5 MWh/h. Primary aluminium smelting consumes 13-15 MWh per tonne. The Moss Landing battery (California) stores 3,287 MWh. The daily output of a 1 GW nuclear plant at 90% capacity factor is ~21,600 MWh. 1 MWh = 3.6 GJ = 3,412,141 BTU = 1,000 kWh.
