Power and work
British:
1 horsepower (h. p.) = 33,000 foot-pounds per minute
(ft-lb./min) = 550 foot-pounds per second (ft-lb./sec);
1 British Thermal Unit (B. Th. U.) = 778 foot-pounds (ft-lb.);
1 horsepower-hour (h. p.-hr.) = 1,980,000 foot-pounds =
2,545 B. Th.
Metric:
1 metric horsepower (PS) = 75 kilogram-metres/second = 75 kgm/s;
1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 watts (W) = 102 kgm/s 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) = 3,600,000 watt-seconds (W/s).
Relationship between various units:
1 h. p. = 746 W = 0.746 kW = 1.014 PS;
1 h. p. = 76.065 kgm/s Ih. p. nr. = 0.746 kVh;
1 B. Th. U. = 0.000292 kWh = 0.252 kcal;
1 ft.lb. = 0.1383 kgm;
l kgm= 7.231 ft-lb.;
1 kcal = 3.968 B. Th. U.;
1 kW =1.34 h. p. = 44,220 ft-lb./min = 3,415 B. Th. U. per hour;
1 W = 0.00134 h. p. = 44.22 ft-lb./min = 3.42 B. Th. U. per hour.
Temperatures
Temperatures are expressed in degrees of temperature scales. There are scales based on the following different units:
Celsius or Centigrade (C., C) ;
Fahrenheit (F., F) ;
Reaumur (R.,R) ;
Kelvin (K.,K) ;
Relationship: 100 C = 212 F = 80 R = 373 K.
