What is horsepower (boiler)?

Horsepower (boiler) is a thermal power unit defining the heat rate required to evaporate water in steam boilers. It measures boiler steaming capacity.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to newton meter/second?

Converting to newton meter/second translates boiler thermal power into a mechanical power unit compatible with modern mechanical and electrical system ratings.

Is newton meter per second the same as a watt?

Yes, one newton meter per second equals one joule per second, which is equivalent to one watt, making it a mechanical power unit.
