Convert Kilowatt to Horsepower (Imperial)
Unit definitions
Kilowatt
$10^{3}$ watts is a kilowatt.
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.
How to convert Kilowatt to Horsepower (Imperial)
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = \text{Power}_{\text{kW}} \cdot 1.341022089595028329958639424674090$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $35.0\ \text{kW}$ to $\text{hp}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 35.0 \cdot 1.341022089595028329958639424674090$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 46.935773$$
$$\therefore \ 35.0\ \text{kW} = 46.935773 \ \text{hp}$$
Example 2
Convert $85.0\ \text{kW}$ to $\text{hp}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 85.0 \cdot 1.341022089595028329958639424674090$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 113.986878$$
$$\therefore \ 85.0\ \text{kW} = 113.986878 \ \text{hp}$$
Example 3
Convert $115.0\ \text{kW}$ to $\text{hp}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 115.0 \cdot 1.341022089595028329958639424674090$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 154.21754$$
$$\therefore \ 115.0\ \text{kW} = 154.21754 \ \text{hp}$$
Example 4
Convert $135.0\ \text{kW}$ to $\text{hp}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 135.0 \cdot 1.341022089595028329958639424674090$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 181.037982$$
$$\therefore \ 135.0\ \text{kW} = 181.037982 \ \text{hp}$$
Example 5
Convert $160.0\ \text{kW}$ to $\text{hp}$.
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 160.0 \cdot 1.341022089595028329958639424674090$$
$$\text{Power}_{\text{hp}} = 214.563534$$
$$\therefore \ 160.0\ \text{kW} = 214.563534 \ \text{hp}$$
