What does one calorie (th)/second represent in terms of energy?

One calorie (th)/second is the power of transferring one thermochemical calorie of energy every second, where one thermochemical calorie equals exactly 4.184 joules.

Why are there different types of horsepower?

Horsepower units differ because they represent various regional or conventional definitions, such as mechanical horsepower or metric horsepower, each with slightly different power values.

In which fields is converting calorie (th)/second to horsepower particularly useful?

This conversion is valuable in automotive and mechanical engineering, HVAC design, laboratory calorimetry, and industrial machinery performance evaluations.
