What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

Btu (th)/minute quantifies the rate of thermal energy transfer, representing heat flow per minute.

Why convert Btu (th)/minute to centiwatt?

Converting helps translate thermal energy transfer rates into electrical power equivalents for comparing heating capacities with low-power electronic metrics.

Can Btu (th)/minute and centiwatt be directly equated?

No, because Btu (th)/minute measures thermal power and centiwatt measures electrical power, so understanding the system context is important.
