What does Btu (th)/second measure?

Btu (th)/second quantifies the rate of heat transfer based on the thermochemical British thermal unit delivered every second.

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

Converting to megajoule/second facilitates the use of a widely recognized metric power unit suitable for large-scale energy production and consumption contexts.

Is this conversion accurate for all conditions?

Accuracy depends on steady-state conditions and consistent unit definitions; transient changes or varying heat transfer environments may affect precision.
