Convert horsepower (metric) hour to megaelectron-volt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (metric) hour [hp*h] to megaelectron-volt [MeV], or Convert megaelectron-volt to horsepower (metric) hour.
How to Convert Horsepower (Metric) Hour to Megaelectron-Volt
1 hp*h = 1.65262396405664e+19 MeV
Example: convert 15 hp*h to MeV:
15 hp*h = 15 × 1.65262396405664e+19 MeV = 2.47893594608496e+20 MeV

Horsepower (Metric) Hour
A unit of energy representing the amount of work done by one horsepower over one hour, equivalent to 745.7 joules.
History/Origin
The horsepower hour was historically used to quantify energy in mechanical and engineering contexts, especially in the era of steam and early engines, but has largely been replaced by standard energy units like joules and kilowatt-hours.
Current Use
It is rarely used in modern practice, but may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial applications to measure energy output or consumption related to horsepower-rated equipment.
Megaelectron-Volt
A megaelectron-volt (MeV) is a unit of energy equal to one million electron-volts, commonly used in nuclear and particle physics to express the energy of particles.
History/Origin
The megaelectron-volt was introduced as a convenient unit for expressing high-energy particles in physics, particularly after the development of particle accelerators in the mid-20th century, replacing the electron-volt for larger energy scales.
Current Use
Today, the MeV is widely used in nuclear physics, particle physics, and astrophysics to quantify the energy of subatomic particles, nuclear reactions, and cosmic phenomena.
