What are Horsepower and Megajoule/second

Definition of Horsepower

Horsepower is a unit of measurement that was originally designed to compare the power of steam engines with the power of draft horses. It quantifies power, which is the rate at which work is done. One horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts and is commonly used in measuring the power output of engines and motors. The term was coined by James Watt, who compared the output of his steam engine to the work done by a horse, thus providing a relatable measure of power for consumers.

Definition of Megajoule/second

Megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power in the International System of Units (SI). It represents the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one million joules of energy being transferred or converted in one second. MJ/s is often used in high-energy physics, engineering, and various scientific disciplines to describe the power output or consumption in large-scale systems. It provides a standard measurement for understanding and comparing the efficiency and capability of different energy systems and engines.
