Convert BTU to watt • minute

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (B T U) = x (w a t t \times m i n u t 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 (w a t t \times m i n u t e) = 60.0 (j o u l e) = 60.0 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 1054.35026444 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 60.0 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 1054.35026444 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 60.0 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 1054.35026444 \cdot (J) = x \times 60.0 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

1054.35026444 = x \times 60.0

Switch sides

x \times 60.0 = 1054.35026444

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{60.0})

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

Cancel

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

Simplify

x = \frac{1054.35026444}{60.0}

Solve

x

x \approx 17.572504407 \approx 17.5725

Conversion Equation

1.0 (B T U) \approx 17.5725 (w a t t \times m i n u t e)
