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.

Megawatt

$10^{6}$ watts is a megawatt.

How to convert Horsepower (Imperial) to Megawatt

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = \text{Power}_{\text{hp}} \cdot 0.00074569987158227$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $30.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{MW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 30.0 \cdot 0.00074569987158227$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 0.022371$$

$$\therefore \ 30.0\ \text{hp} = 0.022371 \ \text{MW}$$

Example 2

Convert $80.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{MW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 80.0 \cdot 0.00074569987158227$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 0.059656$$

$$\therefore \ 80.0\ \text{hp} = 0.059656 \ \text{MW}$$

Example 3

Convert $120.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{MW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 120.0 \cdot 0.00074569987158227$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 0.089484$$

$$\therefore \ 120.0\ \text{hp} = 0.089484 \ \text{MW}$$

Example 4

Convert $135.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{MW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 135.0 \cdot 0.00074569987158227$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 0.100669$$

$$\therefore \ 135.0\ \text{hp} = 0.100669 \ \text{MW}$$

Example 5

Convert $165.0\ \text{hp}$ to $\text{MW}$.

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 165.0 \cdot 0.00074569987158227$$

$$\text{Power}_{\text{MW}} = 0.12304$$

$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{hp} = 0.12304 \ \text{MW}$$
