Convert horsepower • hour to BTU

Learn how to convert 1 horsepower • hour to BTU step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
1.0(horsepower×hour)=x(BTU)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit (joule)
Left side: 1.0 (horsepower×hour)=2647795.5(joule)=2647795.5(J)
Right side: 1.0 (BTU)=1054.804(joule)=1054.804(J)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine x
1.0(horsepower×hour)=x(BTU)
Insert known values =>
1.0×2647795.5×(joule)=x×1054.804×(joule)
Or
1.02647795.5(J)=x1054.804(J)
Cancel SI units
1.0×2647795.5(J)=x×1054.804×(J)
Conversion Equation
2647795.5=x×1054.804
Switch sides
x×1054.804=2647795.5
Isolate x
Multiply both sides by (1.01054.804)
x×1054.804×1.01054.804=2647795.5×1.01054.804
Cancel
x×1054.804×1.01054.804=2647795.5×1.01054.804
Simplify
x=2647795.51054.804
Solve x
x2510.22512242.5102×103
Conversion Equation
1.0(horsepower×hour)2.5102×103(BTU)
