This depends on the situation. The main power unit used for electric power output is generally the Watt (W), while the main power unit used for mechanical power output is often the horsepower (hp).
the unit used to express power is time
Power is simply a rate -the rate of transfer of energy. The watt is simply the SI unit of power, whereas the horsepower is an Imperial unit of power. In other words, watts and horsepower both measure the same thing, and can be used interchangeably. If you wish, you could measure the power of an electric heater in horsepower, for example. A horsepower is equivalent to 746 watts. In most countries outside the United States, the horsepower is considered obsolete and, for this reason, the output of motors (including automobile engines) are measured in watts (or kilowatts), not horsepower.
That is called "power". The SI unit of energy is the joule, the SI unit for power is the watt, which is equal to joules/second.That is called "power".

Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transmitted, equal to the work done or energy transmitted divided by time, measured in watts.
Horsepower
Horsepower is abbreviated to hp. It is a unit of measurement that represents the power of an engine.
horsepower
The definition of horsepower is a unit of power equal to 746 watts. Therefore, a cow has no horsepower.
Horsepower is a measure of power, the metric unit of power is the watt. One watt is one joule per second.
in measuring an engines power
" power "
the watt = joules/second Imperial system: horsepower
the watt = joules/second Imperial system: horsepower
There are no BTUs per horsepower. A British Thermal Unit is an archaic unit of measurement of energy, whereas a horsepower is an archaic unit of measurement for power. As energy and power are two different quantities, you question is akin to asking, "How many miles are there in a mile per hour?"
105ps likely refers to a measurement of power output in metric horsepower. It is a unit used to quantify the power of an engine, where 1 metric horsepower is equivalent to 0.986 horsepower.
A unit of power equivalent to 550 foot-pounds per second is one horsepower. Horsepower is commonly used to measure the power output of engines and motors.
