Convert Btu (IT)/hour to petawatt
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/hour [Btu/h] to petawatt [PW], or Convert petawatt to Btu (IT)/hour.
1 Btu/h = 2.9307e-16 PW. To convert Btu (IT)/hour to petawatt, multiply the value by 2.9307e-16; to go the other way, divide by it (1 PW = 3.4121e+15 Btu/h). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Btu/h = 2.9307e-16 PW
- 1 PW = 3.4121e+15 Btu/h
- 10 Btu/h = 2.9307e-15 PW
- 100 Btu/h = 2.9307e-14 PW
How to Convert Btu (It)/hour to Petawatt
1 Btu/h = 2.9307107e-16 PW
Example: convert 15 Btu/h to PW:
15 Btu/h = 15 × 2.9307107e-16 PW = 4.39606605e-15 PW

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.
Petawatt
A petawatt (PW) is a unit of power equal to 10^15 watts, used to measure extremely high power levels.
History/Origin
The petawatt was introduced in the 1980s as part of the SI prefixes to describe ultra-high power outputs, particularly in laser physics and astrophysics research.
Current Use
Petawatts are primarily used in scientific research involving high-intensity lasers, astrophysics, and nuclear physics to quantify extremely large power outputs.
