Convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) [hp] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s).
1 hp = 7.4570e-10 TJ/s. To convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 7.4570e-10; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 1341021858.66 hp). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 hp = 7.4570e-10 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 1341021858.66 hp
- 10 hp = 7.457e-09 TJ/s

Horsepower (550 Ft*lbf/s)
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement, defined as 550 foot-pounds of work per second (ft·lbf/s).
History/Origin
The horsepower was developed by James Watt in the late 18th century to compare the power of steam engines with draft horses, and it became a standard unit for measuring engine power.
Current Use
Horsepower is still widely used today to rate the power of engines and motors in automotive, aviation, and industrial applications.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) in terajoule/second?
1 horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) (hp) = 7.4570e-10 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert horsepower (550 ft*lbf/s) to terajoule/second?
