Yes, usually. 100 watts equates to about 341.21 BTU per hour.

Well, unfortunately there are different BTUs, each a slightly different quantity of energy.The BTU (ISO) is 1054.5 joules exactly. Let's use that one, and avoid some rounding.10 kW = (10,000 joules/second) x (3,600 seconds/hour) x (1 BTU/1,054.5 joules) = 34,139.4 BTU/hour
To convert CFH to BTU, you need to use the formula 1 CFH which is equivalent to 1000 BTUs.
To calculate the amount of BTUs required to melt 1 ton (2000 pounds) of steel in 1 hour, we need to consider the specific heat capacity of steel, which is approximately 0.11 BTU/lb°F. The melting point of steel is around 2500°F. Assuming the steel starts at room temperature (70°F), it would take approximately 2,200,000 BTUs to melt 1 ton of steel in 1 hour [(2500°F - 70°F) * 2000 lbs * 0.11 BTU/lb°F].
1 kWH = 3.6 megajoules of energy and 1 BTU = approximately 1055 joules.1 kWH = 3412.3 BTUSo a million BTUs would be 3.4123 billion BTUs (3.4 x 109 BTU)However, this is not an exact conversion because kWH is energy exerted over time, while BTU is energy content.(see the related question)
