Convert poncelet to BTU / second

Learn how to convert 1 poncelet to BTU / second step by step.

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (p o n c e l e t) = 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 (p o n c e l e t) = 980.665 (w a t t) = 980.665 (W)

Right side: 1.0 (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d}) = 1054.5 (w a t t) = 1054.5 (W)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

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

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 980.665 \times (w a t t) = x \times 1054.5 \times (w a t t)

Or

1.0 \cdot 980.665 \cdot (W) = x \cdot 1054.5 \cdot (W)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 980.665 \cdot (W) = x \times 1054.5 \times (W)

Conversion Equation

980.665 = x \times 1054.5

Switch sides

x \times 1054.5 = 980.665

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1054.5})

x \times 1054.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5} = 980.665 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5}

Cancel

x \times 1054.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5} = 980.665 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{980.665}{1054.5}

Solve

x

x \approx 0.9299810337 \approx 9.2998 \times 10^{- 1}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (p o n c e l e t) \approx 9.2998 \times 10^{- 1} (\frac{B T U}{s e c o n d})
