What is the Formula to convert BTU/hr to Horsepower (Electric)?

The formula to convert given power from BTU/hr to Horsepower (Electric) is:

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (Power(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107)/746

Substitute the given value of power in btu/hr, i.e., Power(BTU/hr) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the power in horsepower (electric), i.e., Power(Horsepower (Electric)).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a luxury home's HVAC system consumes 100,000 BTU/hr to maintain indoor comfort.
Convert this power consumption from BTU/hr to Horsepower (Electric).

Answer:

Given:

The power in btu/hr is:

Power(BTU/hr) = 100000

Formula:

The formula to convert power from btu/hr to horsepower (electric) is:

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (Power(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107)/746

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(BTU/hr) = 100000 in the above formula.

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (100000 × 0.29307107)/746

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = 39.2857

Final Answer:

Therefore, 100000 BTU/hr is equal to 39.2857 hp(E).

The power is 39.2857 hp(E), in horsepower (electric).

2

Consider that a high-efficiency furnace operates at 85,000 BTU/hr.
Convert this power output from BTU/hr to Horsepower (Electric).

Answer:

Given:

The power in btu/hr is:

Power(BTU/hr) = 85000

Formula:

The formula to convert power from btu/hr to horsepower (electric) is:

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (Power(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107)/746

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(BTU/hr) = 85000 in the above formula.

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = (85000 × 0.29307107)/746

Power(Horsepower (Electric)) = 33.3928

Final Answer:

Therefore, 85000 BTU/hr is equal to 33.3928 hp(E).

The power is 33.3928 hp(E), in horsepower (electric).

BTU/hr

The British Thermal Unit per hour (BTU/hr) is a unit of power used to describe the rate of heat energy transfer. One BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. When expressed as BTU per hour, it indicates the amount of heat energy transferred per hour. This unit is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to specify the cooling or heating capacity of an appliance. It is also used in the context of power generation and thermal energy production.

Horsepower (Electric)

Electric horsepower (hp(E)) is a unit of power used primarily to measure the output of electric motors. It is defined as exactly 746 watts. This unit is useful for comparing the power output of electric motors to other types of engines.
