What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

Btu (th)/minute quantifies the rate of thermal energy flow by measuring the transfer of one thermochemical British thermal unit per minute.

Where is nanowatt (nW) commonly used?

Nanowatt is used to measure extremely low power levels in precision electronics, photonics, and very small energy-harvesting devices.

Why are conversion results so large when converting from Btu (th)/minute to nanowatt?

Because Btu (th)/minute is a relatively large power unit and nanowatt represents extremely small power, the numerical conversion factor is very large.
