What does Btu (th)/second measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer equal to one thermochemical British thermal unit delivered each second, commonly used in heating and cooling system performance.

Why convert Btu (th)/second to terawatts?

To translate thermal power measures into much larger power scales that reflect national or planetary energy transfer for comparative or analytical purposes.

What are typical applications of terawatt measurements?

Terawatts are used to express very large energy transfer rates such as global electricity consumption or enormous astrophysical power outputs.
