What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to translate heat flux density values between horsepower (metric) per square foot and British thermal units (thermochemical) per second per square foot. It is designed for users needing to convert surface heat loads or heat flux measurements in systems using mixed metric horsepower and Imperial units.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the heat flux density value in horsepower (metric)/square foot
  • Select the target unit as Btu (th)/second/square foot
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent heat flux density
  • Review and utilize the result for your thermal analysis or documentation

Key Features

  • Converts heat flux density from horsepower (metric)/square foot to Btu (th)/second/square foot
  • Uses a precise fixed conversion rate reflecting power per area units
  • Supports applications in industrial, HVAC, and thermal testing contexts
  • Browser-based with easy input and output of values
  • Helpful for analyzing mixed-unit thermal systems

Examples

  • 2 horsepower (metric)/square foot converts to 1.39516966 Btu (th)/second/square foot
  • 0.5 horsepower (metric)/square foot converts to 0.348792415 Btu (th)/second/square foot

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying or converting surface heat loads in industrial furnaces and boilers using mixed units
  • Analyzing engine cooling surfaces or heat exchangers with legacy measurement systems
  • Calculating heat flow through building envelopes in HVAC design using Imperial units
  • Evaluating radiative or convective heat loads on equipment and thermal system components
  • Characterizing surface heat flux in fire-exposure and flammability testing

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always verify that area units are consistent (square feet) when converting heat flux density
  • Understand the thermochemical definition of Btu used in this conversion for accurate interpretation
  • Apply this conversion when working between metric horsepower-based and Imperial heat flux units
  • Be cautious with rounding in precision thermal engineering applications

Limitations

  • The conversion assumes consistent use of square feet for area measurements
  • Users should consider the thermochemical basis of the Btu unit involved
  • Additional conversions may be needed if other heat flux or area units are used
  • Rounding effects may impact accuracy in high-precision thermal calculations

Frequently Asked Questions

What does horsepower (metric)/square foot measure?
It measures heat flux density as power per unit area, with one metric horsepower spread over one square foot.

Why convert to Btu (th)/second/square foot?
This unit expresses heat transfer rate per area in Imperial units, useful for HVAC, engineering, and thermal system analysis.

Is this conversion valid for areas not measured in square feet?
No, the conversion specifically requires the area to be in square feet to remain accurate.

Key Terminology

Horsepower (metric)/square foot
A unit of heat flux density indicating one metric horsepower of power spread over one square foot.
Btu (th)/second/square foot
A heat flux density unit expressing British thermal units (thermochemical) transferred per second per square foot.
Heat flux density
The rate of heat transfer per unit area, measured here in power divided by area.
