What does petajoule per second measure?

Petajoule per second measures power as the rate of energy transfer at extremely large scales, equal to 10^15 joules per second.

Why convert petajoule/second to Btu (IT)/hour?

This conversion helps relate very large power quantities to heat transfer units used in HVAC, boiler capacity, and thermal system analysis.

Can this conversion be used for small power values?

No, petajoule/second expresses extraordinarily large power levels that may not suit smaller-scale applications measured in Btu (IT)/hour.
