Discover the seamless conversion from Kilocalories (kcal) to Horsepower hours (hp·h) with our precise tool. Developed by Newtum, this converter stimulates curiosity and meets your conversion needs effortlessly.
A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Kilocalories are commonly used in nutrition to quantify the energy content in food, and one kilocalorie is equivalent to 1,000 calories or approximately 4.184 kilojoules.
Definition of HorsepowerHorsepower (hp) is a unit of measurement for power, which is the rate at which work is done. Originally devised to compare the output of steam engines with the power of draft horses, it has since been adopted to measure the power of engines and motors. One horsepower is equivalent to about 745.7 watts or the power required to lift 550 pounds by one foot in one second.
| Kilocalorie (kcal) | Horsepower metric Hour (hp·h) |
|---|---|
| 1 kcal | 0.001341 hp·h |
| 10 kcal | 0.01341 hp·h |
| 50 kcal | 0.06705 hp·h |
| 100 kcal | 0.1341 hp·h |
| 200 kcal | 0.2682 hp·h |
| 500 kcal | 0.6705 hp·h |
| 1000 kcal | 1.341 hp·h |
| 5000 kcal | 6.705 hp·h |
| 10000 kcal | 13.41 hp·h |
| 50000 kcal | 67.05 hp·h |
1 kcal = 0.001341 hp·h
1 hp·h = 745.7 kcal
Example 1:
Convert 5 kcal to hp·h:
5 kcal = 5 × 0.001341 hp·h = 0.006705 hp·h
Example 2:
Convert 250 kcal to hp·h:
250 kcal = 250 × 0.001341 hp·h = 0.33525 hp·h
A brief history of the kcal to hp·h converter traces back to the need for a reliable method to equate dietary energy with mechanical energy. This conversion has enabled scientists and engineers to relate human energy consumption with mechanical output, aiding in the design of efficient machines and health-related research.
Explore the practicality of the kcal to hp·h converter and its role in bridging dietary energy with mechanical output.
Example 1: To convert 100 kcal to hp·h: 100 kcal equals 0.1341 hp·h.
Example 2: To convert 400 kcal to hp·h: 400 kcal equals 0.5364 hp·h.
