What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer expressed as thermochemical British thermal units delivered every second.

What is a hectojoule/second used for?

It represents power as 100 joules per second and is commonly used to specify electrical appliance power and laboratory equipment ratings.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to hectojoule/second?

Conversion helps relate heat power in thermal systems to electrical or mechanical power, facilitating comparison and specification across energy systems.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert power from Btu (th)/second, a thermal energy rate measure, into hectojoule/second, a unit representing energy transfer per second in joules. It is designed to help users relate heat power values to electrical or mechanical power units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the power value in Btu (th)/second you wish to convert.
Select Btu (th)/second as the source unit and hectojoule/second as the target unit.
Initiate the conversion to view the result in hectojoule/second.

Key Features

Converts between thermal and mechanical/electrical power units accurately.
Supports quick conversion with clear input and output formats.
Includes units used in HVAC, industrial systems, electrical appliances, and laboratory equipment.

Examples

2 Btu (th)/s equals approximately 21.087 hJ/s.
0.5 Btu (th)/s converts to roughly 5.272 hJ/s.

Common Use Cases

Rating HVAC equipment capacity such as furnaces and air conditioners.
Specifying boiler and heat-exchanger output in buildings and industrial settings.
Describing electrical appliance power ratings like lighting and heaters.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify the unit definitions before conversion to ensure correct application.
Use this converter to compare thermal power with electrical power comprehensively.
Be mindful of unit context since thermal and electrical power represent different energy domains.

Limitations
