The conversion is not direct, since watts are units of power, while BTU/Hr
represents energy per hour of equipment operation. So, in this case, watts will represent the power dissipation of a product.
1 watt = 3.412141633 BTU/Hr
It works both ways, of course:
1 BTU/Hr = 0.29307107 watts
The above is mathematically correct, but I think how it represents the time value is confusing. I've left it for reference purposes.
A Watt is an instantaneous measure of power. It assumes no unit of time. A Watt-Second on the other hand, is 1 Watt of power for 1 Second, which *is* a unit of energy. 1 Watt-Second is equivalent to 1 Joule. A 60 watt lightbulb turned on for exactly 1 second uses 60 Watt-seconds or 60 joules of energy.
BTU on the other hand, is a measure of energy and time is implicit in the unit. 1 BTU is equivalent to approx 1055 Joules.
1 Watt-Second = ~0.00095 BTU.
A 1000 Watt heater, running for 1 hour(3600 seconds) would consume 1KiloWatt-Hour(KWH) of energy. Or 3,600,000 Joules.
1KiloWatt-Hour = 3412 BTU.
OR
1Watt-Hour = 3.412 BTU
While you could divide both sides by Hours and get a comparison of power wherein 1W = 3.412 BTU/hr. I think comparing energy in the forms of KWHs and BTUs is more useful than the other way around.
To convert watts per meter squared per degree Celsius to BTU per hour per degree Fahrenheit, you can use the following conversion factors: 1 Watt per meter squared per degree Celsius = 0.317 BTU per hour per foot squared per degree Fahrenheit.
You can't convert that.* A BTU is a unit of energy. * A watt is a unit of power (energy per unit time).
To convert BTU per hour to frigorias per hour, you can use the conversion factor 0.251995760032 BTU per hour is equal to 1 frigoria per hour. Therefore, 3988777 BTU per hour is approximately equal to 15886.05 frigorias per hour.
One BTU per hour is equal to approximately 0.00029307107 kilowatts. To convert 25,000 BTU per hour to cubic meters, you first convert it to watts (25,000 BTU/hr = approximately 7,328 watts). Then you can use the power formula, Power (W) = Volume flow rate (m^3/s) * Density of air (kg/m^3) * Specific heat of air (J/kg*K) * Temperature change (K) to calculate the volume flow rate in cubic meters.
To convert watts to kilowatts, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 500 watts is equal to 0.5 kilowatts. To convert minutes to hours, you divide by 60. So, 500 watts per minute is equivalent to 0.5 kilowatts per 60 minutes, or 0.5/60 = 0.00833 kilowatts per hour.
Yes, usually. 100 watts equates to about 341.21 BTU per hour.
To convert watts per meter squared per degree Celsius to BTU per hour per degree Fahrenheit, you can use the following conversion factors: 1 Watt per meter squared per degree Celsius = 0.317 BTU per hour per foot squared per degree Fahrenheit.
To convert electric watts to BTU heat gain, use the formula: 1 watt is approximately equal to 3.412 BTUs per hour. So, to calculate the BTU heat gain, multiply the electric watts by 3.412. For example, if you have a device that consumes 1000 watts, the approximate BTU heat gain would be 3412 BTUs per hour.
To convert watts to BTUs (British Thermal Units), you can use the formula: 1 watt is approximately equal to 3.412 BTUs per hour. So, if you have a certain number of watts, you can multiply that by 3.412 to convert it to BTUs per hour.
The energy unit is not watts per hour, but watts times hour, simply called watt-hours.One BTU is equal to about 1055 Joules or Watt-seconds; that is about 0.293 watt-hours. Actually there are different definitions of the BTU.The energy unit is not watts per hour, but watts times hour, simply called watt-hours.One BTU is equal to about 1055 Joules or Watt-seconds; that is about 0.293 watt-hours.

1 ton = rate of heat absorption to melt 1 ton of ice in 24 hours =12,000 BTU per hour = 3,516 watts.
This is a two-step question. First, to convert volt-amps into watts, multiply by the power factor. For a heating element like a convector or kettle the power factor is 1, but for a motor it might be 0.7. In the absence of information a power factor of 0.8 can be assumed. Watts are a measure of power and the equivalent imperial measure is BTU per second or BTU per hour. Alternatively a BTU is a measure of energy and the metric equivalent is watt-seconds or watt-hours. A BTU is 1055 watt-seconds (also known as joules). A kilowatt-hour is equivalent to 3412 BTU.
To convert watts to kilowatts, you divide by 1,000. Therefore, 500 watts is equal to 0.5 kilowatts. To convert minutes to hours, you divide by 60. So, 500 watts per minute is equivalent to 0.5 kilowatts per 60 minutes, or 0.5/60 = 0.00833 kilowatts per hour.
To convert foot-pounds per minute (ft-lb/min) to British thermal units per hour (BTU/hr), you can use the conversion factor that 1 ft-lb/min is equivalent to 0.00063241 BTU/hr. Simply multiply the value in ft-lb/min by 0.00063241 to obtain the equivalent value in BTU/hr.
