Converting from British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s) to Horsepower, Metric (hp) | Power

What is British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s)

The British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s) is a unit of power often used in the US to measure the rate of energy transfer. It represents the amount of energy (in British Thermal Units) converted or transferred in one second.

What is Horsepower, Metric (hp)

Horsepower, Metric (hp) is a unit of power commonly used internationally to measure the rate at which work is done. It is equivalent to the power needed to lift 75 kilograms by one meter in one second, and is equal to 735.5 watts.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from BTU/s to hp, you can use the following formula:

hp=BTU/s×0.6971183

To convert from hp to BTU/s, you can use the formula:

BTU/s=hp×1.434477

Examples

1. Converting 16 BTU/s to hp:

16×0.6971183=22.95163 hp 2. Converting 5 BTU/s to hp:

5×0.6971183=7.172384 hp 3. Converting 7 hp to BTU/s:

7×1.434477=10.04134 BTU/s
