Convert horsepower (boiler) to microjoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to microjoule/second [µJ/s], or Convert microjoule/second to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Microjoule/second
1 hp (boiler) = 9810000000 µJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to µJ/s:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9810000000 µJ/s = 147150000000 µJ/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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Microjoule/second
The microjoule per second (µJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one microjoule equals 10^-6 joules, transferred per second.
History/Origin
The microjoule per second originated from the need to measure very small power levels in scientific and engineering contexts, especially in fields like electronics and nanotechnology, as a scaled-down unit of the watt (joule per second).
Current Use
It is used in applications requiring precise measurement of low power levels, such as in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), sensor technology, and research involving minute energy transfers.
