What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer equivalent to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered every second, mainly used in thermal energy applications.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to kilojoule/minute?

Converting to kilojoule/minute expresses power over minute intervals, making it easier to communicate and compare heat energy rates, especially in physiology and laboratory processes.

Can this conversion be used for fluctuating heat transfer rates?

The conversion works best under steady-state conditions; for rapidly changing or transient rates, averaging the data before conversion is recommended.
