Convert therm to BTU

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

Calculation Breakdown

Set up the equation

1.0 (t h e r m) = x (B T U)

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

(j o u l e)

Left side: 1.0 (t h e r m) = 105480400.0 (j o u l e) = 105480400.0 (J)

Right side: 1.0 (B T U) = 1054.5 (j o u l e) = 1054.5 (J)

Insert known values into the conversion equation to determine

x

1.0 (t h e r m) = x (B T U)

Insert known values =>

1.0 \times 105480400.0 \times (j o u l e) = x \times 1054.5 \times (j o u l e)

Or

1.0 \cdot 105480400.0 \cdot (J) = x \cdot 1054.5 \cdot (J)

Cancel SI units

1.0 \times 105480400.0 \cdot (J) = x \times 1054.5 \times (J)

Conversion Equation

105480400.0 = x \times 1054.5

Switch sides

x \times 1054.5 = 105480400.0

Isolate

x

Multiply both sides by

(\frac{1.0}{1054.5})

x \times 1054.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5} = 105480400.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5}

Cancel

x \times 1054.5 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5} = 105480400.0 \times \frac{1.0}{1054.5}

Simplify

x = \frac{105480400.0}{1054.5}

Solve

x

x \approx 100028.82883 \approx 1.0003 \times 10^{5}

Conversion Equation

1.0 (t h e r m) \approx 1.0003 \times 10^{5} (B T U)
