What is horsepower (boiler)?

Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of thermal power representing the rate of heat required to evaporate a specified amount of water per hour, commonly used to rate steam boilers.

How is calorie (th)/minute used?

Calorie (th)/minute measures the rate of heat transfer at a small scale and is used in calorimetry, metabolic energy reporting, and food heating tests.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to calorie (th)/minute?

This conversion helps translate large industrial boiler power ratings into smaller, precise units suitable for laboratory, physiological, and scientific applications.
