Convert horsepower to BTU / minute

Learn how to convert 1 horsepower to BTU / minute step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = 736.0 (w a t t) = 736.0 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) = x (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 736.0 \times (w a t t) = x \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 736.0 \cdot (W) = x \cdot \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 736.0 \cdot (W) = x \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \times (W)

Conversion Equation

736.0 = x \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0}

Switch sides

x \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} = 736.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{60.0}{1054.35026444})

x \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \times \frac{60.0}{1054.35026444} = 736.0 \times \frac{60.0}{1054.35026444}

Cancel

x \times \frac{1054.35026444 \times 60.0}{60.0 \times 1054.35026444} = 736.0 \times \frac{60.0}{1054.35026444}

Simplify

x = \frac{736.0 \times 60.0}{1054.35026444}

Solve

x

x \approx 41.883614477 \approx 41.8836

Conversion Equation

1.0 (h o r s e p o w e r) \approx 41.8836 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})
