Convert BTU to joule

Learn how to convert 1 BTU to joule step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (B T U) = x (j o u l e)

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

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (B T U) = 1054.35026444 (j o u l e) = 1054.35026444 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (j o u l e) = 1.0 (j o u l e) = 1.0 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (B T U) = x (j o u l e)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1054.35026444 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1.0 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1054.35026444 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1.0 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1054.35026444 \cdot (J) = x \times 1.0 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

1054.35026444 = x \times 1.0

Simplify

1054.35026444 = x

Switch sides

x = 1054.35026444

Solve

x

x = 1054.3502644 \approx 1.0544 \times 10^{3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (B T U) \approx 1.0544 \times 10^{3} (j o u l e)
