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

What is Horsepower, Mechanical (hp)

Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) is a unit of power that measures the rate at which work is done. It is commonly used to quantify the power output of engines, turbines, and motors.

What is Calorie per Second (cal/s)

Calorie per Second (cal/s) is also a unit of power, specifically measuring energy transfer or work done per unit time. It is often used in the field of thermodynamics and heat transfer.
