How to Convert BTU/hr to Watts?
The unit BTU/hr is equivalent to 0.29307107 watts (W). Therefore, if we want to convert power P in BTUs per hour (BTU/hr) to watts (W), we can either multiply the power in BTU/hr by 0.29307107 or divide it by 3.412141633, which is the reciprocal of 0.29307107.
The formula for this conversion can be expressed as follows:
P(W) = P(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107 = P(BTU/hr) / 3.412141633
By using this formula, we can convert any value of power from BTU/hr to watts, or vice versa, with ease.
Example
Here are some real examples of BTU/hr to watts conversion:
1. A small air conditioner has a cooling capacity of 6000 BTU/hr. To convert this into watts, we can use the formula:
P(W) = P(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107
P(W) = 6000 × 0.29307107 = 1758.42642 W
Therefore, the cooling capacity of the air conditioner is 1758.42642 watts.
2. A heating system has a thermal output of 80,000 BTU/hr. To convert this into watts, we can again use the formula:
P(W) = P(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107
P(W) = 80000 × 0.29307107 = 23445.6856 W
Therefore, the thermal output of the heating system is 23445.6856 watts.
3. An industrial oven has a heating capacity of 500000 BTU/hr. To convert this into watts, we can apply the same formula:
P(W) = P(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107
P(W) = 500000 × 0.29307107 = 146535.535 W
Therefore, the heating capacity of the industrial oven is 146535.535 watts.
In summary, converting BTU/hr to watts can be helpful when comparing the energy output of different devices or systems that use different units of measurement.
BTU/hr to Watts Conversion Table
Here’s a table converting BTU/hr (British Thermal Units per hour) to Watts with real values:
| BTU/hr | Watts |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.293 |
| 10 | 2.93 |
| 50 | 14.65 |
| 100 | 29.31 |
| 250 | 72.77 |
| 500 | 146.54 |
| 750 | 219.81 |
| 1000 | 293.07 |
| 1500 | 439.61 |
| 2000 | 586.14 |
| 2500 | 732.68 |
| 3000 | 879.22 |
| 3500 | 1025.76 |
| 4000 | 1172.3 |
| 5000 | 1465.36 |
| 10000 | 2930.71 |
| 12000 | 3516.85 |
Note that the conversion factor used is 1 BTU/hr = 0.293 Watts, which is an approximation since the exact conversion factor depends on the specific definition of the BTU used.
