Discover the simplicity of converting Horsepower (water) to Kilojoule/hour with our efficient tool. Designed by Newtum, this page offers a seamless transition between units, sparking curiosity and encouraging further exploration of our calculator's capabilities.
Horsepower is a unit of power that originated in the late 18th century. It quantifies the rate at which work is done, commonly used to express the power of engines and motors. One horsepower equates to 746 watts. The term was coined by James Watt to compare the output of steam engines with the work done by horses, reflecting industrial advancements. Although not a part of the International System of Units (SI), horsepower remains a widely recognized and utilized measurement in various industries.
Definition of Kilojoule/hourKilojoule/hour (kJ/h) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is consumed or transferred over time. It is derived from the joule, the SI unit of energy, where one kilojoule equals 1,000 joules. By measuring energy flow in kilojoules per hour, this unit helps quantify energy efficiency in systems and processes. Commonly used in engineering, physics, and environmental studies, kJ/h provides insight into energy consumption and is crucial for analyzing energy performance and optimization.
| Horsepower (water) | Kilojoule/hour (kJ/h) |
|---|---|
| 1 hp | 26845.6 kJ/h |
| 2 hp | 53691.2 kJ/h |
| 3 hp | 80536.8 kJ/h |
| 4 hp | 107382.4 kJ/h |
| 5 hp | 134228 kJ/h |
| 6 hp | 161073.6 kJ/h |
| 7 hp | 187919.2 kJ/h |
| 8 hp | 214764.8 kJ/h |
| 9 hp | 241610.4 kJ/h |
| 10 hp | 268456 kJ/h |
1 hp = 26845.6 kJ/h
Example 1:
Convert 5 hp to kJ/h:
5 hp = 5 × 26845.6 kJ/h = 134228 kJ/h
Example 2:
Convert 3.5 hp to kJ/h:
3.5 hp = 3.5 × 26845.6 kJ/h = 93959.6 kJ/h
