s·°F/BTU = K/hp × 2.546735767

About Kelvin per horsepower

The kelvin per horsepower (K/hp) equals 1/745.69987158 K/W ≈ 1.341 × 10⁻³ K/W. Used in mechanical engineering when rating engine cooling systems, gearbox oil coolers, and hydraulic heat exchangers alongside power expressed in horsepower. A transmission cooler at 0.05 K/hp raises fluid temperature 3.73 K per 75 hp of friction losses. 1 K/hp ≈ 1.341 × 10⁻³ K/W.

About Second-degree Fahrenheit per BTU

The second-degree Fahrenheit per BTU (s·°F/BTU) equals (5/9)/1055.05585262 K/W ≈ 5.265 × 10⁻⁴ K/W. Used in US aerospace and nuclear engineering where thermal transient analyses express power as BTU/s and temperature in °F, e.g. rocket engine heat rejection and reactor coolant loop calculations. 1 s·°F/BTU ≈ 5.265 × 10⁻⁴ K/W.
