Convert horsepower (boiler) to exawatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (boiler) [hp (boiler)] to exawatt [EW], or Convert exawatt to horsepower (boiler).
How to Convert Horsepower (Boiler) to Exawatt
1 hp (boiler) = 9.81e-15 EW
Example: convert 15 hp (boiler) to EW:
15 hp (boiler) = 15 × 9.81e-15 EW = 1.4715e-13 EW

Horsepower (Boiler)
Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of energy transfer, specifically indicating the power of steam boilers, equivalent to approximately 33,475 watts.
History/Origin
The boiler horsepower was developed in the late 19th century to standardize the measurement of steam boiler capacity, primarily in the United States, and has been used historically in engineering and industrial applications to quantify boiler power output.
Current Use
Today, boiler horsepower is primarily used in the United States for specifying the capacity of steam boilers in industrial and commercial settings, although it has largely been replaced by SI units like watts or kilowatts in most regions.
Exawatt
An exawatt (EW) is a unit of power equal to 10^18 watts.
History/Origin
The exawatt is part of the SI prefix system, introduced to represent extremely large power quantities, especially in theoretical physics and astrophysics, as the need to express vast energy outputs grew.
Current Use
Exawatts are primarily used in scientific contexts to describe the power output of large-scale phenomena such as stars and cosmic events; they are rarely used in everyday measurements.
