-
Describing power levels in experimental physics setups involving molecular-scale devices.
-
Performing heat-transfer calculations in HVAC design using traditional British thermal units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure input values are precise due to the very small magnitude of femtojoule per second units.
-
Use this conversion when integrating nanoelectronic or experimental physics data with engineering thermal calculations.
-
Be aware of the scale difference when comparing converted values to typical HVAC power values.
Limitations

The femtojoule per second represents extremely small power levels that are many orders of magnitude less than typical Btu (IT)/second values.
-
Measurement precision and relevance can limit practical use of this conversion for most engineering applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a femtojoule per second?
-
It is a unit of power equal to 10^-15 joule per second, used to measure extremely small energy transfer rates in specialized physics and nanoelectronics fields.
-
What does Btu (IT)/second measure?
-
It measures power as the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one International Table British thermal unit per second, commonly used in heating and industrial applications.
-
Why convert femtojoule/second to Btu (IT)/second?
-
Converting helps relate ultra-low power measurements to standard engineering units useful in thermal and HVAC calculations.
Key Terminology
-
Femtojoule per second [fJ/s]
