Convert horsepower to BTU / second

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation
1.0(horsepower)=x(BTUsecond)
Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit (watt)
Left side: 1.0 (horsepower)=736.0(watt)=736.0(W)
Right side: 1.0 (BTUsecond)=1054.35026444(watt)=1054.35026444(W)
Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine x
1.0(horsepower)=x(BTUsecond)
Insert known values =>
1.0×736.0×(watt)=x×1054.35026444×(watt)
Or
1.0736.0(W)=x1054.35026444(W)
Cancel SI units
1.0×736.0(W)=x×1054.35026444×(W)
Conversion Equation
736.0=x×1054.35026444
Switch sides
x×1054.35026444=736.0
Isolate x
Multiply both sides by (1.01054.35026444)
x×1054.35026444×1.01054.35026444=736.0×1.01054.35026444
Cancel
x×1054.35026444×1.01054.35026444=736.0×1.01054.35026444
Simplify
x=736.01054.35026444
Solve x
x0.69806024136.9806×101
Conversion Equation
1.0(horsepower)6.9806×101(BTUsecond)
