Convert horsepower to dekajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert horsepower [hp] to dekajoule/second [daJ/s], or Convert dekajoule/second to horsepower.
1 hp = 74.57 daJ/s. To convert horsepower to dekajoule/second, multiply the value by 74.57; to go the other way, divide by it (1 daJ/s = 0.0134102185866 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 = 74.57 daJ/s
- 1 daJ/s = 0.0134102185866 hp
- 10 hp = 745.7 daJ/s
- 100 hp = 7457 daJ/s
How to Convert Horsepower to Dekajoule/second
1 hp = 74.57 daJ/s
Example: convert 15 hp to daJ/s:
15 hp = 15 × 74.57 daJ/s = 1118.55 daJ/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.
Dekajoule/second
Dekajoule per second (daJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one dekajoule equals ten joules per second.
History/Origin
The dekajoule is a non-SI unit introduced as a multiple of the joule, primarily used in older or specialized contexts. Its usage has declined with the adoption of the SI system, but it remains recognized for certain applications involving large energy quantities.
Current Use
Today, daJ/s is rarely used in scientific contexts, with the watt (W) being the standard SI unit for power. However, it may still appear in legacy systems or specific industrial measurements where larger energy units are convenient.
