Convert Btu (IT)/hour to terajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/hour [Btu/h] to terajoule/second [TJ/s], or Convert terajoule/second to Btu (IT)/hour.
1 Btu/h = 2.9307e-13 TJ/s. To convert Btu (IT)/hour to terajoule/second, multiply the value by 2.9307e-13; to go the other way, divide by it (1 TJ/s = 3.4121e+12 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-13 TJ/s
- 1 TJ/s = 3.4121e+12 Btu/h
- 10 Btu/h = 2.9307e-12 TJ/s
- 100 Btu/h = 2.9307e-11 TJ/s
How to Convert Btu (It)/hour to Terajoule/second
1 Btu/h = 2.9307107e-13 TJ/s
Example: convert 15 Btu/h to TJ/s:
15 Btu/h = 15 × 2.9307107e-13 TJ/s = 4.39606605e-12 TJ/s

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.
Terajoule/second
A terajoule per second (TJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one trillion joules of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The terajoule per second is derived from the SI units of energy (joule) and time (second), with 'tera' indicating a factor of 10^12. It is used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very high power levels, especially in fields like astrophysics and energy production.
Current Use
TJ/s is used to quantify extremely high power outputs, such as in large-scale energy systems, astrophysical phenomena, and nuclear reactions, where conventional units like watts are insufficient to express the magnitude.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 Btu (IT)/hour in terajoule/second?
1 Btu (IT)/hour (Btu/h) = 2.9307e-13 terajoule/second (TJ/s).
How do you convert Btu (IT)/hour to terajoule/second?
Multiply the Btu (IT)/hour value by 2.9307e-13. For example, 25 Btu/h × 2.9307e-13 = 7.3268e-12 TJ/s.
What is 10 Btu (IT)/hour in terajoule/second?
10 Btu/h = 2.9307e-12 TJ/s.
Which unit is larger, the Btu (IT)/hour or the terajoule/second?
The terajoule/second is the larger unit: 1 Btu/h equals only 2.9307e-13 TJ/s.
