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.


Hectowatt

A hectowatt (hW) is a unit of power equal to 100 watts.

History/Origin

The hectowatt was introduced as part of the metric system to provide larger units of power measurement, though it is rarely used in practice today.

Current Use

The hectowatt is seldom used in modern contexts; power is typically expressed in watts or kilowatts, but it may appear in specific engineering or scientific applications requiring larger units.
