What does Btu (th)/hour measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer based on thermochemical British thermal units per hour.

Why convert from Btu (th)/hour to megajoule/second?

This conversion helps translate HVAC and building heat rates into large-scale industrial or power generation units.

Can I use this tool for any Btu to MJ conversion?

This tool specifically converts thermochemical Btu per hour to megajoule per second and may not apply to all Btu variations.

How to Use This Tool?

Input the numeric value in Btu (th)/hour you want to convert.
Select Btu (th)/hour as the source unit and megajoule/second as the target unit if needed.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent power in megajoule/second.
Use the converted value for engineering or industrial energy calculations.

Key Features

Converts power units from Btu (th)/hour to megajoule/second with precision.
Supports applications in HVAC sizing, industrial boilers, and power plant monitoring.
Provides clear output suitable for translating small-scale heating rates into megawatt equivalents.
Browser-based and easy to use with no installation required.

Examples

Convert 1000 Btu (th)/hour: results in approximately 0.000292875 MJ/s.
Convert 5000 Btu (th)/hour: results in approximately 0.001464375 MJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Sizing and rating HVAC equipment such as furnaces and air conditioners.
Specifying heat output for water heaters, boilers, and heat exchangers.
Estimating building heating and cooling loads or refrigeration capacity.
Expressing electrical or mechanical power output of power plants and turbines.
Describing thermal power rates in industrial boilers and district heating systems.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify unit consistency to avoid mixing thermochemical Btu versions with others.
Use scientific notation when handling very small values in MJ/s for clarity.
Confirm results against application-specific requirements for accurate power ratings.

Limitations

Small conversion factor leads to very small MJ/s values that may reduce readability.
Thermochemical Btu definition differs slightly from other Btu types, requiring care in unit selection.
