Convert Btu (IT)/hour to joule/second
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/hour [Btu/h] to joule/second [J/s], or Convert joule/second to Btu (IT)/hour.
1 Btu/h = 0.29307107 J/s. To convert Btu (IT)/hour to joule/second, multiply the value by 0.29307107; to go the other way, divide by it (1 J/s = 3.41214163513 Btu/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Btu (It)/hour
Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) is a unit of power that measures the rate of energy transfer, specifically the amount of British thermal units (IT) transferred per hour.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit used in the United States and was standardized for industrial and engineering purposes. The per-hour notation became common in applications requiring power measurement, especially in heating and cooling systems.
Current Use
Btu/h is widely used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to specify the capacity of heating and cooling equipment, as well as in energy analysis and thermodynamics.
Joule/second
The joule per second (J/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to one watt.
History/Origin
The joule per second has been used as a measure of power since the adoption of the SI system, where the watt (W) became the standard unit of power, with 1 J/s = 1 W.
Current Use
J/s is primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify power, especially in physics and electrical engineering, often interchangeably with watts.
