Convert joules / minute to BTU / second

Learn how to convert 1 joules / minute to BTU / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (\frac{j o u l e s}{m i n u t e}) = x (\frac{B T U}{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{j o u l e s}{m i n u t e}) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (w a t t) = \frac{1.0}{60.0} (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d}) = 1054.35026444 (w a t t) = 1054.35026444 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \times (w a t t) = x \times 1054.35026444 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1054.35026444 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times \frac{1.0}{60.0} \cdot (W) = x \times 1054.35026444 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

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

Switch sides

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

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1054.35026444})

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

Cancel

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

Simplify

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

Solve

x

x \approx 0.0000158075 \approx 1.5808 \times 10^{- 5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (\frac{j o u l e s}{m i n u t e}) \approx 1.5808 \times 10^{- 5} (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d})
