Understanding Horsepower and Calorie per Second
Horsepower (hp)
The horsepower is a unit of power in the Imperial system, used for mechanical measurements.
• 1 horsepower = 745.7 watts
• Originally based on work capacity of draft horses
• Common for internal combustion engines (US/UK)
• Used in automotive, marine, and industrial engines
Calorie per Second (cal/s)
The calorie per second is a unit of power in the Metric system, used for thermal measurements.
• Used for exercise equipment calibration
• Common in sports science research
• Used for metabolic chamber measurements
• Standard for human energy expenditure studies
