What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

Btu (th)/minute measures the rate of thermal energy flow, specifically heat transferred per minute based on the thermochemical British thermal unit.

Why convert Btu (th)/minute to newton meter/second?

Converting helps translate thermal power into mechanical power terms, allowing comparison and integration of energy rates across different engineering disciplines.

Are Btu (th)/minute and newton meter/second the same?

They represent equivalent rates of energy transfer but differ in context: Btu (th)/minute applies to heat rates, while newton meter/second refers to mechanical power.
