Convert BTU / second to (foot • pound) / second

Learn how to convert 1 BTU / second to (foot • pound) / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{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}{s e c o n d}) = 1054.35026444 (w a t t) = 1054.35026444 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d}) = 1.3558180656 (w a t t) = 1.3558180656 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d}) = x (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1054.35026444 \times (w a t t) = x \times 1.3558180656 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1054.35026444 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1.3558180656 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1054.35026444 \cdot (W) = x \times 1.3558180656 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

1054.35026444 = x \times 1.3558180656

Switch sides

x \times 1.3558180656 = 1054.35026444

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1.3558180656})

x \times 1.3558180656 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656} = 1054.35026444 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656}

Cancel

x \times 1.3558180656 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656} = 1054.35026444 \times \frac{1.0}{1.3558180656}

Simplify

x = \frac{1054.35026444}{1.3558180656}

Solve

x

x \approx 777.64877987 \approx 7.7765 \times 10^{2}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d}) \approx 7.7765 \times 10^{2} (\frac{f o o t \times p o u n d}{s e c o n d})
