Convert horsepower (boiler) to megajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to megajoule/second [MJ/s], or Convert megajoule/second to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Megajoule/second
1 hp (boiler) = 0.00981 MJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to MJ/s:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 0.00981 MJ/s = 0.14715 MJ/s

Horsepower (Boiler)
Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer, specifically indicating the power of steam boilers, equivalent to approximately 33,475 watts.
History/Origin
The boiler horsepower was developed in the late 19th century to standardize the measurement of steam boiler capacity, primarily in the United States, and has been used historically in engineering and industrial applications to quantify boiler power output.
Current Use
Today, boiler horsepower is primarily used in the United States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Megajoule/second
A megajoule per second (MJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one megajoule of energy transferred or converted per second, where 1 megajoule equals 1,000,000 joules.
History/Origin
The megajoule per second has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify large-scale power, especially in fields like physics and energy systems, as a convenient unit for expressing high power levels. It is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second).
Current Use
Today, MJ/s is primarily used in scientific research, energy production, and engineering to describe high power outputs, such as in power plants, large-scale energy systems, and theoretical calculations involving energy transfer rates.
