About Pounds per hour
The pound per hour (lb/h) equals 0.45359237/3600 ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s, the dominant unit in US process engineering and steam-boiler rating. Packaged steam boilers are rated in lb/h of steam output (typical range 100-2 000 lb/h); HVAC cooling-coil latent loads are calculated in lb/h of moisture; flue-gas emission inventories are reported in lb/h per stack. 1 lb/h ≈ 1.260×10⁻⁴ kg/s.
About Short hundredweights per day
The short hundredweight per day (cwt/d, US) equals 45.359237/86400 ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁴ kg/s. It appears in US agricultural reports where daily throughput of commodity crops (corn, soybeans, hay) or daily milk yield per herd is stated in short cwt/d. A modern dairy farm averaging 80 lb/cow/d at 1 000 cows produces 800 cwt/d. 1 short cwt/d ≈ 5.249×10⁻⁴ kg/s.
