Convert calorie / minute to BTU / minute

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})

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

(w a t t)

Left side: 1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{4.184}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{4.184}{60.0} (W)

Right 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)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{4.184}{60.0} \times (w a t t) = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{4.184}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \cdot \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{4.184}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0} \times (W)

Conversion Equation

\frac{4.184}{60.0} = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0}

Cancel factors on both sides

Cancel factors

\frac{4.184}{60.0} = x \times \frac{1055.05585262}{60.0}

Simplify

4.184 = x \times 1055.05585262

Switch sides

x \times 1055.05585262 = 4.184

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1055.05585262})

x \times 1055.05585262 \times \frac{1.0}{1055.05585262} = 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{1055.05585262}

Cancel

x \times 1055.05585262 \times \frac{1.0}{1055.05585262} = 4.184 \times \frac{1.0}{1055.05585262}

Simplify

x = \frac{4.184}{1055.05585262}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0039656668 \approx 3.9657 \times 10^{- 3}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{c a l o r i e}{m i n u t e}) \approx 3.9657 \times 10^{- 3} (\frac{B T U}{m i n u t e})
