What does horsepower (boiler) represent?

Horsepower (boiler) is a unit of thermal power based on the heat needed to evaporate water at specific conditions, used especially for rating steam boiler capacity.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to nanojoule/second?

Converting this allows expressing large-scale thermal power in units that relate to very small power levels, useful in microelectronics and low-energy research.

Are horsepower (boiler) and nanojoule/second directly comparable?

They measure different types of power—thermal versus very small electrical/optical power—so comparison needs contextual interpretation.
