What does Btu (th)/hour measure?

Btu (th)/hour quantifies thermal power as one thermochemical British thermal unit of heat transferred per hour.

When should I use millijoule/second units?

Millijoule/second units are best for measuring power in low-power systems such as sensors, microcontrollers, and laboratory equipment.

Can I use this converter for all power conversions?

This converter is specific to converting Btu (th)/hour to millijoule/second and best suited for applications combining thermal and low-power electronic contexts.
