How to Convert Watts to BTU/hr?

In the realm of thermodynamics, power is often expressed in two different units: watts and BTUs per hour (BTU/hr). The conversion formula between these two units of power is straightforward and can be represented as follows:

P(BTU/hr) = 3.412141633 × P(W)

In this formula, P(W) refers to the power in watts, and P(BTU/hr) refers to the power in BTUs per hour. As you can see, to convert from watts to BTUs per hour, you simply need to multiply the power in watts by the conversion factor 3.412141633.

Conversely, to convert from BTUs per hour to watts, you divide the power in BTUs per hour by 3.412141633. Therefore, if you have a power value in watts, you can convert it to BTUs per hour by using the formula above.

Example

Let’s say you have an air conditioning unit with a power rating of 500 watts. To determine the BTUs per hour for this unit, you can use the conversion formula:

P(BTU/hr) = 3.412141633 × P(W)

Substituting the value for power in watts into the formula, we get:

P(BTU/hr) = 3.412141633 × 500 P(BTU/hr) = 1706.0708165

Therefore, the power of the air conditioning unit is 1706.0708165 BTUs per hour. This means that the air conditioning unit is capable of removing 1706.0708165 BTUs of heat from a room in one hour.

Watts to BTU/hr Conversion Table

Here’s a conversion table for Watts to BTU/hr with real values:

To convert a value from watts to BTU/hr, simply find the value in the Watts column and then read the corresponding value in the BTU/hr column. For example, to convert 1000 watts to BTU/hr, you would find the row in the table with 1000 watts in the Watts column, and then read the corresponding value of 3412 BTU/hr in the second column.
