Convert watts to btu (it) per second
Watt
The watt (symbol: W ) is a unit of power. In the International System of Units (SI) it is defined as a derived unit of 1 joule per second, and is used to quantify the rate of energy transfer. In SI base units, the watt is described as kg⋅m 2 ⋅s −3 , which can be demonstrated to be coherent by dimensional analysis. The watt is named after James Watt, an 18th-century Scottish inventor.
BTU (IT) per second
The British thermal unit (IT) per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one BTU (IT) every second. Since one BTU (IT) equals approximately 1055.05585262 joules, one BTU/s is equal to approximately 1055.056 watts or about 1.055 kilowatts. This unit is used in high-power thermal engineering applications, such as power plants and combustion analysis. It allows for direct comparison with SI power units in heat-rate calculations.
