Convert Btu (th)/minute to gigajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert Btu (th)/minute [Btu(th)/min] to gigajoule/second [GJ/s], or Convert gigajoule/second to Btu (th)/minute.
1 Btu(th)/min = 1.75725e-08 GJ/s. To convert Btu (th)/minute to gigajoule/second, multiply the value by 1.75725e-08; to go the other way, divide by it (1 GJ/s = 56907099.1606 Btu(th)/min). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Btu (Th)/minute
Btu (th)/minute is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically in thermochemical British thermal units per minute.
History/Origin
The Btu (th)/minute originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States, with the 'th' denoting the thermochemical definition. It has been used historically in engineering and heating applications to quantify energy transfer rates.
Current Use
Today, Btu (th)/minute is used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industries to measure heat transfer rates, though it is less common than SI units like watts. It remains relevant in contexts where traditional energy units are preferred.
Gigajoule/second
A gigajoule per second (GJ/s) is a unit of power equivalent to one gigajoule of energy transferred or converted per second.
History/Origin
The gigajoule per second emerged as a larger-scale unit of power measurement, primarily used in scientific and engineering contexts to quantify high power levels, especially in energy production and consumption. It is derived from the SI unit joule and the prefix giga, combined with the second as the time unit.
Current Use
GJ/s is used in fields such as energy industry, power generation, and large-scale energy transfer analysis to express high power rates, often in the context of power plants, energy infrastructure, and large energy projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 Btu (th)/minute in gigajoule/second?
1 Btu (th)/minute (Btu(th)/min) = 1.75725e-08 gigajoule/second (GJ/s).
How do you convert Btu (th)/minute to gigajoule/second?
Multiply the Btu (th)/minute value by 1.75725e-08. For example, 25 Btu(th)/min × 1.75725e-08 = 4.393125e-07 GJ/s.
