Convert BTU / hour to volt • ampere

Learn how to convert 1 BTU / hour to volt • ampere step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{h o u r}) = x (v o l t \times a m p e r e)

Define the base values of the selected units in relation to the SI unit

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{B T U}{h o u r}) = \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (w a t t) = \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (v o l t \times a m p e r e) = 0.9 (w a t t) = 0.9 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{h o u r}) = x (v o l t \times a m p e r e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times (w a t t) = x \times 0.9 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 0.9 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \cdot (W) = x \times 0.9 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} = x \times 0.9

Switch sides

x \times 0.9 = \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{0.9})

x \times 0.9 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9} = \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3}} \times \frac{1.0}{0.9}

Cancel

x \times 0.9 \times \frac{1.0}{0.9} = \frac{1054.5 \times 1.0}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.9}

Simplify

x = \frac{1054.5}{3.6 \times 10^{3} \times 0.9}

Rewrite equation

\frac{1.0}{10^{3}} can be rewritten to 10^{- 3}

Rewrite

x = \frac{10^{- 3} \times 1054.5}{3.6 \times 0.9}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.325462963 \approx 3.2546 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{h o u r}) \approx 3.2546 \times 10^{- 1} (v o l t \times a m p e r e)
