Convert BTU / minute to calorie / second

Learn how to convert 1 BTU / minute to calorie / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})

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}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d}) = 4.184 (w a t t) = 4.184 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \times (w a t t) = x \times 4.184 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 4.184 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \times 4.184 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} = x \times 4.184

Switch sides

x \times 4.184 = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0}

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{4.184})

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0} \times \frac{1.0}{4.184}

Cancel

x \times 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{4.184} = \frac{1054.35026444 \times 1.0}{60.0 \times 4.184}

Simplify

x = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0 \times 4.184}

Solve

x

x \approx 4.1999293517 \approx 4.1999

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) \approx 4.1999 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{s e c o n d})
