Converting from British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) to Erg per Second (erg/s)

What is British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h)

British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power commonly used in the United States when measuring heating and cooling systems. It represents the amount of energy needed to heat or cool one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit in an hour.

What is Erg per Second (erg/s)

Erg per Second (erg/s) is a metric unit of power used in the International System of Units (SI). An erg is a unit of energy equal to 10^-7 joules, and erg/s measures the rate of energy transfer per second.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from BTU/h to erg/s, you can use the following formulas:

Examples

1. Converting 13 BTU/h to erg/s:

   13 BTU/h=13×2930711=38099240 erg/s

2. Converting 8 erg/s to BTU/h:

   8 erg/s=8×0.0000003412142=0.000002729713 BTU/h

3. Converting 4 BTU/h to erg/s:

   4 BTU/h=4×2930711=11722840 erg/s
