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.


Deciwatt

A deciwatt (dW) is a unit of power equal to one-tenth of a watt, used to measure small amounts of power.

History/Origin

The deciwatt was introduced as part of the metric system's decimal prefixes to provide convenient submultiples of the watt, though it is rarely used in practice.

Current Use

Deciwatt is rarely used in modern applications; it may appear in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical calculations involving small power levels.
