Convert BTU / minute to joules / second

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{j o u l e s}{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{1055.05585262}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d}) = 1.0 (w a t t) = 1.0 (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{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \times 1.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

\frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 17.58426421 \approx 17.5843

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) \approx 17.5843 (\frac{j o u l e s}{s e c o n d})
