What does pferdestarke (ps) represent?

Pferdestärke (PS) is a metric horsepower unit historically used in German-speaking countries to express mechanical power.

What is a calorie (th)/second used for?

A calorie (th)/second measures thermal power as the energy transfer of one thermochemical calorie per second, often used in calorimetry and thermal engineering.

Why convert pferdestarke (ps) to calorie (th)/second?

Converting helps compare mechanical power ratings with thermal energy flow, useful in automotive, HVAC, and historical machinery contexts.
