What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of heat transfer quantified as thermochemical British thermal units delivered per second, commonly used in thermal energy flow systems.

When should I use petajoule/second units?

Petajoule/second units are suitable for describing very large power flows, such as national energy grids or planetary-scale energy budgets.

Can I use this conversion for small-scale power systems?

Petajoule/second is generally too large for small systems and this conversion is mainly relevant for massive power flow assessments.
