British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) to Megacalorie per Second (Mcal/s) converter

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

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

British Thermal Unit per Hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power that measures the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit in an hour. It is commonly used in the United States to quantify heating and cooling loads in various industries.

What is Megacalorie per Second (Mcal/s)

Megacalorie per Second (Mcal/s) is a metric unit of power that represents the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one tonne (1000 kilograms) of water by one degree Celsius in one second. It is often used in scientific and engineering applications in countries that utilize the metric system.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion formulas between BTU/h and Mcal/s are as follows:

• To convert BTU/h to Mcal/s:
  Mcal/s=BTU/h×0.00000006999882
• To convert Mcal/s to BTU/h:
  BTU/h=Mcal/s×14285950

Examples

1. Converting 14 BTU/h to Mcal/s:

   14 BTU/h=14×0.00000006999882 Mcal/s=0.0000009799835 Mcal/s

2. Converting 6 BTU/h to Mcal/s:

   6 BTU/h=6×0.00000006999882 Mcal/s=0.0000004199929 Mcal/s

3. Converting 16 Mcal/s to BTU/h:

   16 Mcal/s=16×14285950 BTU/h=228575300 BTU/h

These examples demonstrate the simplicity of converting between BTU/h and Mcal/s for power-related calculations.
