What does one terajoule per second represent?

One terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to an energy transfer rate of one terajoule (10^12 joules) every second, equal to one terawatt.

What is Btu (th)/second used for?

Btu (th)/second measures the rate of heat transfer, commonly used to express thermal energy flow in HVAC systems, boilers, and heat exchangers.

Why convert TJ/s to Btu (th)/second?

Converting TJ/s to Btu (th)/second helps translate large electrical power into thermal terms useful for heat system analysis and energy planning.
