Convert Kilokelvin per watt to Kelvin per horsepower
Convert Kilokelvin per watt (kK/W) to Kelvin per horsepower (K/hp) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
K/hp = kK/W × 745699.8716
About Kilokelvin per watt
The kilokelvin per watt (kK/W) equals exactly 1000 K/W. Used for high thermal resistances in aerogel films, vacuum insulation panels with small contact area, and micron-scale thin-film insulation layers in microelectronics packaging. Numerically identical to °C/mW; both notations denote the same thermal resistance in different engineering contexts. 1 kK/W = 1000 K/W = 1 °C/mW.
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.
