Convert horsepower (boiler) to nanojoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to nanojoule/second [nJ/s], or Convert nanojoule/second to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Nanojoule/second
1 hp (boiler) = 9810000000000 nJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to nJ/s:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9810000000000 nJ/s = 147150000000000 nJ/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States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Nanojoule/second
A nanojoule per second (nJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one nanojoule of energy per second.
History/Origin
The nanojoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'nano' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It is used in contexts requiring very small power measurements, especially in scientific and engineering fields.
Current Use
The nJ/s is used in scientific research, nanotechnology, and precise energy transfer measurements where extremely low power levels are involved, often in the context of nanoscale systems or experiments.
