How many British Thermal Units (BTU's) per hour of power are in 1 Mechanical horsepower?

The answer to this conversion is: the change of 1 hp I ( Mechanical horsepower ) unit of power measure equals = to 2,544.43 Btu/h ( BTU per hour ) as the equivalent measure for the same power type. Specifically, BTU is a unit of measurement for energy. One BTU is equal to the amount of energy used to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit.

Power units represent power physics, which is the rate at which energy is used up, either transformed or transferred from its source to elsewhere, by various ways within the nature of physics. For example, when comparing two air conditioning units and one has listed the capacity in HP while the other has listed its capacity in BTU/hr, we need to convert the horsepower measurement to BTU/hour to compare the two air conditioning units.
