Converting from Calorie per Second (cal/s) to Horsepower, Mechanical (hp)

What is Calorie per Second (cal/s)

Calorie per second (cal/s) is a unit of power commonly used in physics and engineering to quantify energy transfer rate. It represents the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius per second.

What is Horsepower, Mechanical (hp)

Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) is a unit of power widely used in the automotive and engineering industries to measure the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is equivalent to the power required to lift 550 pounds by one foot in one second.
