What is the different of kw and horse power?
Only the size. One Horsepower = 746 watts.
1 horsepower equals how many watts?
1 horsepower equates to about 745.7 watts.Horsepower is simply the Imperial unit of measurement of power, whereas the watt is the SI unit for power. So there's nothing stopping you from specifying the power output of an electric heater in horsepower if you want to, or specifying the output power of a car engine in watts (as they do outside the United States). But, to answer your question, there are 746 W to one horsepower.
The amount of work done per unit of time?
Work done per unit of time is defined as power. In the metric system, this unit is a watt. In the standard system, it is horsepower.

Can kilowatts determine engine size as they are using it in ads for cars now?
1. A kilowatt (1000 Watts) is a unit of power. A watt (W) is the international STANDARD unIt of power. It is the accepted unit of power. One thousand Watts is a kilowatt (kW). A megawatt (MW) is one million watts. These units of power are used for all power systems including electric bulbs, electric motors, engines, steam and gas turbines, and large power stations (steam, nuclear, hydroelectric, etc.) 2. The use of a horseposer (HP) as a unit of power is an archaic and non-standard practice. It is commonly used, primarily in the USA, to indicate the power rating of small electric motors and vehicle engines. 3. It may be useful to know that one horsepower is equal to 746 watts or 0.746 kW. Therefore, an engine rated at 100 HP engine is capable of producing 74.6 kW of power. 4. In summary, "kilowatts" do determine the power output of the engine in the same manner as "horsepower", except that a kW is the standard unit of power. A horsepower is not a standard unit.
