What does horsepower (boiler) measure?

Horsepower (boiler) measures the thermal power needed to evaporate a specific amount of water per hour in boilers, standardized as 33,475 BTU/h.

Why convert horsepower (boiler) to picojoule/second?

This conversion allows translating large-scale thermal power values from boilers into extremely small power units used in microelectronics and photonics.

Is this conversion used in everyday applications?

No, it is mainly used for specialized analytical purposes because the scales differ vastly and direct comparison is uncommon.
