What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second quantifies the rate of heat transfer based on thermochemical British thermal units delivered per second, typically used in heating and cooling systems.

Can I use this converter for transient heat transfer rates?

While useful, the tool assumes steady-state conditions; transient rates may need more detailed dynamic analysis beyond simple conversion.
