Convert horsepower to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower [hp] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to horsepower.
1 hp = 74570 cJ/s. To convert horsepower to centijoule/second, multiply the value by 74570; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cJ/s = 1.34102185866e-05 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 = 74570 cJ/s
- 1 cJ/s = 1.34102185866e-05 hp
- 10 hp = 745700 cJ/s
- 100 hp = 7457000 cJ/s
How to Convert Horsepower to Centijoule/second
1 hp = 74570 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp to cJ/s:
15 hp = 15 × 74570 cJ/s = 1118550 cJ/s

Horsepower
Horsepower (hp) is a unit of power measurement originally developed to compare the power of engines and motors, representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
History/Origin
The term was introduced in the late 18th century by James Watt to compare the power of steam engines to draft horses. It became a standard unit in engineering and automotive industries, with its definition evolving over time from mechanical to metric standards.
Current Use
Horsepower is widely used today to rate the power output of engines, motors, and other machinery, especially in automotive, aerospace, and industrial applications. It remains a common unit for expressing engine power in many countries.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
