How many Horsepower is 10000 BTU?

BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, which is a unit of energy or heat. Horsepower is a unit of power, which measures how much work can be done in a certain amount of time.

There is no direct conversion between BTU and Horsepower. To convert from BTU to Horsepower, we need to consider the amount of time involved.

1 BTU is equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. If we consider 1 hour as the time frame, then:

10000 BTU/hr = 10000 BTU / (1 hour x 60 min/hr)

= 166.67 BTU/min

= 166.67 BTU / (3.9683 BTU/watt)

= 42 watts

1 horsepower (HP) = 746 watts

So 42 watts = 42/746 horsepower

= 0.056 horsepower

Therefore, 10,000 BTU per hour is approximately equivalent to 0.056 horsepower.
