What does centijoule per second measure?

It measures power as a hundredth of a joule transferred per second, representing very small steady power levels.

What is horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s)?

It is an imperial unit of power equal to 550 foot-pound-force per second, commonly used to rate engines and mechanical systems.

Why convert from centijoule/second to horsepower?

To compare very small experimental power results to familiar mechanical units used in engine and motor power ratings.

How to Convert from Centijoule/second [cJ/s] to Horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s)?

Convert power units from centijoule per second (cJ/s), a small SI-based power unit, to mechanical horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s), commonly used in imperial measurement systems for engines and motors.

What Is This Tool?

This tool converts power expressed in centijoule per second (cJ/s), a unit representing very small rates of energy transfer, into horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s), an imperial unit used for engine and motor power ratings.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in centijoule per second (cJ/s).
Select horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) as the target unit.
Click convert to see the equivalent power in horsepower.

Key Features

Easy conversion between centijoule per second and horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s).
Supports power measurement translation from SI-based to imperial units.
Helpful for comparing low power experimental data to mechanical power units.

Examples

100 cJ/s = 0.00134102 horsepower
500 cJ/s = 0.0067051 horsepower

Common Use Cases

Determining power draw of low-power sensors and wearable electronics.
Reporting output power from photodiodes and LEDs in laboratory tests.
Evaluating harvested energy in micro-energy harvesting prototypes.
Rating power of car and motorcycle internal-combustion engines.
Specifying power for small engines like lawnmowers and portable generators.
Sizing pumps, compressors, and motors using imperial power units.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this tool to analyze small-scale power outputs in scientific research.
Cross-verify converted values when integrating with mechanical power specifications.
Consider the unit context; horsepower is suitable for imperial-based systems.

Limitations

Converted horsepower values will be small decimal fractions given the tiny input power in cJ/s.
Rounding or precision errors can affect low-value power conversions.
Horsepower use is mostly limited to mechanical and imperial measurement systems.
The conversion may not suit applications requiring strictly SI units or high power levels.
