Convert horsepower (boiler) to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Terajoule/second
1 hp (boiler) = 9.81e-09 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to TJ/s:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9.81e-09 TJ/s = 1.4715e-07 TJ/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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
