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

This conversion helps express large power levels in thermal units common in HVAC, industrial, and energy applications to link metric and imperial systems.

Is this conversion suitable for fluctuating power values?

No, the tool assumes steady-state power and may not reflect transient or variable conditions accurately without further evaluation.

Where is gigajoule/second commonly used?

Gigajoule/second is applied in scenarios involving very large continuous power such as utility-scale power plants and high-capacity industrial systems.
