Converting from Kilocalorie per Second (kcal/s) to Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) | Power

What is Kilocalorie per Second (kcal/s)

Kilocalorie per Second (kcal/s) is a unit of power typically used in the field of physics and engineering. It represents the amount of energy equal to one kilocalorie expended in one second.

What is Horsepower, Mechanical (hp)

Horsepower, Mechanical (hp) is a unit of power commonly used to quantify the rate at which work is done. It is equivalent to the amount of energy required to lift 550 pounds by one foot in one second.
