Tips & Best Practices

Ensure steady-state conditions when performing conversions as transient effects are not accounted for.
Confirm that Btu measurements use the thermochemical definition to maintain unit consistency.
Use the kilowatt value to integrate thermal and electrical power analyses effectively.

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady-state power transfer and excludes transient thermal phenomena.
Btu (th)/minute is based on thermochemical units and may differ from other Btu variants.
Kilowatt as a general power unit does not address differences in thermal efficiency or energy quality.
