About Pound per second (lb/s)
An imperial mass-flow unit used in US aerospace engineering, combustion analysis, and some heavy-industry process engineering. Turbojet engine specification sheets and US-edition combustion textbooks commonly use lb/s for air and fuel flow. 1 lb/s ≈ 0.454 kg/s.
About Metric ton per hour (t/hr)
A metric mass-flow unit used for bulk-industrial processes: mining conveyor throughput, cement kiln feed rates, grain-handling conveyors, steel-mill billet flow, and wastewater treatment capacities. An industrial cement kiln might process 50–400 t/hr. T/hr is also the default unit for quoting capacity of large ship-loaders, crushing plants, and power-plant coal-feed systems.
