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.
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.
8500 BTU is equivalent to 2.49 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
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.
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.
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.

1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.
One BTU is approximately a third of a watt-hour. An MMbtu is million.
One thousand cubic feet of gas (Mcf) -> 1.027 million BTU = 1.083 billion J = 301 kWh by Lyon
1 kilowatt-hour is 3412 British Thermal Units, so 4 kWh is 13648 BTU.

8500 BTU is equivalent to 2.49 kWh (kilowatt-hours).
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
x BTUs / 3412.141633128 BTUs/KWH = KWH For example: -------------- If you burned 1,000,000 BTUs per month, then calculate the following: 1,000,000 BTUs / 3412.141633128 BTUs/KWH = ~293 KWHs per month Notes: ------- 1. Energy = the capacity/measure of a body/system to do work (expressed as the work that it does in changing to some specified reference state. It is measured in joules (SI units)). 2. 1 Joule = 1 Watt-second 3. 1 BTU = 1055.05585262 Joules (or Watt-seconds) 4. 1 WH (Watt-Hour) = 3.412141633 BTUs created/used in 1 hour = 3600 Joules or Watt-seconds (i.e. 1 Joule or Watt-second created/used every second for 1 hour) 5. 1 KWH = 1000 WH = 3412.141633 BTUs created/used in 1 hour = 3,600,000 Joules or Watt-seconds created/used every hour (i.e. 1000 Joules or Watt-seconds created/used every second for 1 hour) ======================================================== (1 KWH) = (1,000 watt-hour) = (1,000 joule / second) (hour) (BTU / 1055 joule) (3,600 sec / hour) = [ (1,000 x 3,600) / (1,055) ] [ joule - hour - BTU - second / second - joule - hour ] = 3412.3 BTU That's the amount of energy equivalent to 1 KWH . . . . . 3,412.3 BTU.
Does not computeKilowatts do not convert to BTU and vice versa. The watt is a unit of power, whereas the BTU is a unit of energy. Perhaps you meant BTU/hr. 1.5E5 BTU/hr = 43.96 kilowattsYou could do a direct conversion into Killowatt hours though one would assume.1.5E5 BTU = 43.96 KWh
