Convert horsepower (water) to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to horsepower (water).
How to Convert Horsepower (Water) to Exajoule/second
1 hp (water) = 7.46043e-16 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp (water) to EJ/s:
15 hp (water) = 15 × 7.46043e-16 EJ/s = 1.1190645e-14 EJ/s

Horsepower (Water)
Horsepower (water) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of water flow or energy transfer, based on the power exerted by a water stream.
History/Origin
The water horsepower originated in the 19th century as a way to quantify the power of water wheels and turbines, with its value historically linked to the energy produced by a specific flow of water under certain conditions.
Current Use
Today, water horsepower is primarily used in hydraulic engineering and water power industries to specify the capacity of water turbines, pumps, and other hydraulic equipment.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
