What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures thermal power as heat transferred per minute using the thermochemical British thermal unit.

Why convert Btu (th)/minute to megajoule/second?

Converting allows comparison and integration into SI unit-based engineering and power system analyses.

Can this conversion be used for electrical power?

No, since Btu (th)/minute specifically quantifies thermal power, it does not directly represent electrical or mechanical power.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the thermochemical definition of Btu for accurate conversions.
Ensure that power flow is steady-state for meaningful results.
Understand that Btu (th)/minute describes thermal power distinct from mechanical or electrical power.

Limitations

Btu (th)/minute pertains strictly to thermal energy transfer rates and may not represent electrical or mechanical power equivalently.
Transient or variable heat flow rates require separate treatment beyond this steady-state conversion.
Conversion accuracy relies on consistent use of the thermochemical Btu unit.
