1 BTU = 1.055 kilojoules. (1 joule per second = 1 watt, or 1 joule = 1 watt-sec)
1 kWh = 3.6 megajoules (1000 x 3600 watt-sec = 3600 kilojoules)
3600000/1055 = 3412.3
So 1 kWh is the energy equivalent of 3412.3 BTUs.
The reverse conversion is that 1 BTU = 0.000293 KWh
*However, a kWh is energy used in work over time, while BTUs are energy content.
WattHours (Wh) or BTU's are measurements of Energy: which is how much energy is used (a certain amount). Conversely, watt and hp are measurements of power, which is how fast energy is being used (a certain rate).
Over the last century Wh, KWh, and MWh has replaced BTU in all non-heating uses of energy, except in scientific use (prefers the joule, J). In describing thermal energy use however, BTU (larger amounts of energy) and calories (smaller amounts of energy) and sometimes therms (very large amounts) are still used.

1BTU day equals how many KWh?
1 BTU = 1.055 kilojoules. I'm not sure what you mean by 'BTUday'. BTU is a quantity of energy, so BTU x Day has no meaning. BTU/day is a rate of energy, ie power. KW is a rate, and KWh a quantity. So what are we comparing? 1 BTU/sec = 1.055 kJ/sec = 1.055 KW. So 1.055 KWsecs = 1 BTU, 1 KWh = 3412 BTU. It also follows that 3412 BTU/hour = 1 KW. Hope this has helped. Just remember to compare quantity with quantity, and rate with rate, and don't mix them up.
What is 8500 BTU in kilowatt hours?
8500 BTU is equivalent to 2.49 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
Convert joules to kwh?
To convert Joules to kilowatt-hours (kWh), divide the number of Joules by 3,600,000 (the number of Joules in a kWh). For example, to convert 1,000,000 Joules to kWh, you would divide 1,000,000 by 3,600,000 to get approximately 0.278 kWh.
How do you convert megawatts thermal to Btu?
To convert megawatts thermal to Btu, you can use the conversion factor of 1 MW (thermal) = 3,412,141 Btu/h. Therefore, to convert, simply multiply the number of megawatts thermal by 3,412,141 to get the equivalent in Btu.
How do you convert calorie to BTU?
To convert calories to British Thermal Units (BTU), you can use the conversion factor of 1 calorie = 0.003968 BTU. Simply multiply the number of calories by this conversion factor to get the equivalent amount in BTU.
How do you convert dollars per kWh to dollar per Btu?
Divide the dollars per kWh by 3,412.14163

1BTU day equals how many KWh?
1 BTU = 1.055 kilojoules. I'm not sure what you mean by 'BTUday'. BTU is a quantity of energy, so BTU x Day has no meaning. BTU/day is a rate of energy, ie power. KW is a rate, and KWh a quantity. So what are we comparing? 1 BTU/sec = 1.055 kJ/sec = 1.055 KW. So 1.055 KWsecs = 1 BTU, 1 KWh = 3412 BTU. It also follows that 3412 BTU/hour = 1 KW. Hope this has helped. Just remember to compare quantity with quantity, and rate with rate, and don't mix them up.
How many Kwh does it take to increase 1 gal one degree F?
1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds. It takes I BTU to change the temp of 1 pound of water 1 degree F. So for 1 gallon it takes 8.34 BTU. It takes 3412.14 BTU to equal 1 KWH. So 8.34 Btu x (1KWH / 3412.14 BTU) = 0.002444 KWH
Convert btu per month to KWH?
To convert BTU (British Thermal Units) per month to kWh (Kilowatt-hours), you can use the following conversion factor: 1 BTU = 0.000293071 kWh Simply multiply the BTU value by 0.000293071 to get the equivalent in kWh.
What is 8500 BTU in kilowatt hours?
8500 BTU is equivalent to 2.49 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
How many kilowatts to make 650000 btu?
