Convert Btu (th)/second to centiwatt
Please provide values below to convert Btu (th)/second [Btu(th)/s] to centiwatt [cW], or Convert centiwatt to Btu (th)/second.
1 Btu(th)/s = 105435 cW. To convert Btu (th)/second to centiwatt, multiply the value by 105435; to go the other way, divide by it (1 cW = 9.48451652677e-06 Btu(th)/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.

Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
Centiwatt
A centiwatt (cW) is a unit of power equal to one hundredth of a watt, where 1 cW = 0.01 watts.
History/Origin
The centiwatt was introduced as a smaller unit of power measurement to facilitate calculations involving very low power levels, although it is not widely used in practice and remains a rarely adopted unit in the SI system.
Current Use
Today, the centiwatt is rarely used in practical applications; power measurements are typically expressed in watts or subunits like milliwatts and microwatts. It may be encountered in specialized scientific contexts or theoretical discussions.
