BTU to Watt-Hour Calculator
BTU to Watt-Hour (Wh) Conversion
To convert BTU (British Thermal Units) to Watt-hours (Wh), use the formula:
Conversion Formula
The relationship between BTU and watt-hours can be expressed as:
Wh = BTU × 0.293071Alternatively, you can express it as:
E(Wh) = 0.293071 × E(BTU)Where:
- Wh = Watt-hours
- BTU = British Thermal Units
Example
If you have an energy amount of 10,000 BTU, the calculation would be:
Wh = 10,000 BTU × 0.293071 ≈ 2,930.71 WhUsing the alternative formula:
E(Wh) = 0.293071 × 10,000 BTU ≈ 2,930.71 WhBritish Thermal Unit (BTU)
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of heat energy. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
Watt-hour (Wh)
A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of work done or energy consumed over time. It represents the energy used when one watt of power is consumed for one hour.
