What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer in thermochemical British thermal units delivered per second, commonly used in heating, cooling, and energy conversion systems.

What is an exawatt (EW)?

An exawatt is an SI unit of power equal to 10 to the 18th power watts and is used to express extremely large power amounts usually seen in planetary or astrophysical energy contexts.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to exawatt?

This conversion helps relate typical human or industrial heat transfer rates to vast power scales found in planetary or astrophysical scenarios, providing context for energy flows across different magnitudes.
