Converting from British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) to Joule per Second (J/s) | Power

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 and Britain to measure the rate at which energy is generated or consumed within a system. It is equivalent to the energy required to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit in one hour.

What is Joule per Second (J/s)

Joule per second (J/s) is the International System of Units (SI) derived unit of power, representing the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. It is defined as one joule of energy transferred in one second.
