Convert horsepower (water) to nanowatt
Please provide values below to convert horsepower (water) [hp (water)] to nanowatt [nW], or Convert nanowatt to horsepower (water).
1 hp (water) = 746043000000 nW. To convert horsepower (water) to nanowatt, multiply the value by 746043000000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nW = 1.3404e-12 hp (water)). 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 (water) = 746043000000 nW
- 1 nW = 1.3404e-12 hp (water)
- 10 hp (water) = 7.4604e+12 nW
- 100 hp (water) = 7.4604e+13 nW
How to Convert Horsepower (Water) to Nanowatt
1 hp (water) = 746043000000 nW
Example: convert 15 hp (water) to nW:
15 hp (water) = 15 × 746043000000 nW = 11190645000000 nW

Horsepower (Water)
Horsepower (water) is a unit of power used to measure the rate of water flow or energy transfer, based on the power exerted by a water stream.
History/Origin
The water horsepower originated in the 19th century as a way to quantify the power of water wheels and turbines, with its value historically linked to the energy produced by a specific flow of water under certain conditions.
Current Use
Today, water horsepower is primarily used in hydraulic engineering and water power industries to specify the capacity of water turbines, pumps, and other hydraulic equipment.
Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
