What is a microjoule (µJ)?

A microjoule is one millionth of a joule used to measure very small amounts of energy in scientific and engineering contexts.

What does one horsepower (metric) hour represent?

It represents the energy delivered by sustaining one metric horsepower for one hour, equal to about 2,647,795.5 joules.

Why convert microjoules to horsepower hour?

This allows comparing tiny scientific energy measurements with the larger energy scales used in engine performance and industrial fields.
