Calorie to horsepower-hour converter (cal to hph)

Conversion Formula

1 cal = 1.56e-6 hph

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Calorie = 4.184 joules
   1 Horsepower-hour = 2.68M joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 cal = (4.184 J) / (2.68M J/hph) = 1.56e-6 hph
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in cal by 1.56e-6 to get the equivalent in hph

Example Conversion

Convert 5 cal to hph:

5 cal × 1.56e-6 = 7.79e-6 hph
