Convert BTU / minute to watt

Learn how to convert 1 BTU / minute to watt step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = x (w a t t)

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{1054.5}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1054.5}{60.0} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (w a t t) = 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 (w a t t)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1054.5}{60.0} \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.0 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1054.5}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1054.5}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \times 1.0 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{1054.5}{60.0} = x \times 1.0

Simplify

\frac{1054.5}{60.0} = x

Switch sides

x = \frac{1054.5}{60.0}

Solve

x

x = 17.575

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e}) = 17.575 (w a t t)
