What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to transform power values expressed in nanojoule per second, a unit representing very small power levels at the nanowatt scale, into Btu (th)/second, a unit used to quantify thermal energy flow in heating and cooling systems. It helps bridge micro-scale power measurements with practical thermal power units.
How to Use This Tool?
