What is one picojoule per second?

One picojoule per second is a unit of power equal to 10⁻¹² joules per second, used for measuring very small continuous power levels in electronics and photonics.

Why convert picojoule per second to Btu (th)/hour?

Conversion helps translate tiny electronic power values into thermal power units familiar in HVAC, enabling comparison with heating and cooling system ratings.

Where is Btu (th)/hour commonly applied?

Btu (th)/hour is used to size HVAC equipment, specify heat output of boilers and water heaters, and estimate building heating and cooling loads.
