What Is This Tool?
This converter facilitates converting power values expressed in Btu (th)/minute, a unit that measures thermal energy flow per minute, into decijoule/second [dJ/s], which quantifies power at smaller scales compatible with scientific and engineering needs.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the power value in Btu (th)/minute you wish to convert
-
Select the target unit as decijoule/second [dJ/s]
-
Click convert to see the equivalent power in decijoule/second

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does Btu (th)/minute measure?
-
Btu (th)/minute indicates thermal energy flow per minute, used to express heating or cooling capacity.
-
Why convert Btu (th)/minute to decijoule/second?
-
Converting allows expressing thermal power in SI-compatible units useful for scientific and detailed engineering analysis.
-
Is decijoule/second a standard SI unit?
-
Decijoule/second is an SI-derived unit but considered a non-standard multiple and mainly used in specialized contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Btu (th)/minute
-
A unit measuring thermal energy transfer rate as one thermochemical British thermal unit per minute.
-
Decijoule/second [dJ/s]
-
An SI-derived unit of power equal to 0.1 watt, representing small-scale energy transfer rates.
