BTU/Hr to HP Calculator

What is BTU/Hr to HP Conversion?

BTU/Hr to HP conversion is a method used to convert the energy rate in British Thermal Units per hour (BTU/Hr) to horsepower (HP). This conversion is useful in various engineering and mechanical applications where energy output needs to be expressed in different units. The conversion factor of 2544.43 is used because one horsepower is equivalent to 2544.43 BTU/Hr.

Formula

The formula to convert BTU/Hr to horsepower (HP) is:

\[ HP = \frac{BTU}{CF} \]

Where:

\( HP \) is the horsepower.
\( BTU \) is the British Thermal Unit per hour.
\( CF \) is the conversion factor (2544.43).

Example

Let's say you have 5000 BTU/Hr. Using the formula:

\[ HP = \frac{5000}{2544.43} \approx 1.964 \]

So, 5000 BTU/Hr is approximately 1.964 horsepower (HP).
