Convert Horsepower (Imperial) to Gigawatt
Unit definitions
Horsepower (Imperial)
The imperial horsepower is defined as $550$ foot-pounds per second (i.e., the ability to raise $550$ pounds by a foot within a second). One imperial horsepower is approximately $745.7$ watts.
Gigawatt
$10^{9}$ watts is a gigawatt.
How to convert Horsepower (Imperial) to Gigawatt
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = \text{Power}_{\text{hp}} \cdot 7.4569987158227e - 7$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $50.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 50.0 \cdot 7.4569987158227e - 7$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000037$$
$$\therefore \ 50.0\ \text{hp} = 0.000037 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 2
Convert $65.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 65.0 \cdot 7.4569987158227e - 7$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000048$$
$$\therefore \ 65.0\ \text{hp} = 0.000048 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 3
Convert $100.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 100.0 \cdot 7.4569987158227e - 7$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000075$$
$$\therefore \ 100.0\ \text{hp} = 0.000075 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 4
Convert $140.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 140.0 \cdot 7.4569987158227e - 7$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.000104$$
$$\therefore \ 140.0\ \text{hp} = 0.000104 \ \text{GW}$$
Example 5
Convert $175.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{GW}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 175.0 \cdot 7.4569987158227e - 7$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{GW}} = 0.00013$$
$$\therefore \ 175.0\ \text{hp} = 0.00013 \ \text{GW}$$
