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

What is Horsepower, Metric (hp)

Horsepower, Metric (hp) is a unit of power that is commonly used in the metric system to measure the rate at which work is done. It is defined as the power required to lift 75 kilograms by one meter in one second.

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

British Thermal Unit per Second (BTU/s) is a unit of power commonly used in the field of thermodynamics to measure the rate at which energy is transferred. It is equivalent to the power required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit in one second.
