what is BHP?

Answer Posted / azmi.2004

Brake horsepower is the amount of work generated by a motor
under ideal conditions. This work is calculated without the
consideration of effects of any auxiliary component, that
may slow down the actual speed of the motor. Brake
horsepower is measured within the engine’s output shaft and
was originally designed to calculate and compare the output
of steam engines.

As per the conventions, 1 bhp equals to:
745.5 watts
1.01389 ps
33,000 ft lbf/min
42.2 BTU/min
