Convert Btu (IT)/second to nanowatt
Please provide values below to convert Btu (IT)/second [Btu/s] to nanowatt [nW], or Convert nanowatt to Btu (IT)/second.
1 Btu/s = 1.0551e+12 nW. To convert Btu (IT)/second to nanowatt, multiply the value by 1.0551e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 nW = 9.4782e-13 Btu/s). 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/s = 1.0551e+12 nW
- 1 nW = 9.4782e-13 Btu/s
- 10 Btu/s = 1.0551e+13 nW
- 100 Btu/s = 1.0551e+14 nW
How to Convert Btu (It)/second to Nanowatt
1 Btu/s = 1055055850000 nW
Example: convert 15 Btu/s to nW:
15 Btu/s = 15 × 1055055850000 nW = 15825837750000 nW

Btu (It)/second
Btu per second (Btu/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer or conversion, where one British thermal unit (Btu) is transferred or converted every second.
History/Origin
The Btu (British thermal unit) has been used historically to measure energy, especially in heating and cooling industries. The use of Btu per second as a power unit emerged to quantify energy transfer rates in engineering and scientific contexts, aligning with the broader adoption of the Btu in energy measurement.
Current Use
Btu/s is used primarily in engineering and energy industries to specify power levels, such as in heating, cooling, and energy transfer systems, although it is less common than SI units like watts.
Nanowatt
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10^-9 W).
History/Origin
The nanowatt is derived from the SI unit watt, with the prefix 'nano-' indicating a factor of 10^-9. It has been used in scientific and engineering contexts to measure very small power levels, especially in electronics and nanotechnology.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in fields requiring precise measurement of tiny power quantities, such as in sensor technology, low-power electronics, and nanotechnology research.
