Examples

1

Consider that a furnace produces 10,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) of energy.
Convert this energy generation from BTUs to Kilowatt-hour.

Answer:

Given:

The energy in british thermal unit (btu) is:

Energy(British Thermal Unit (BTU)) = 10000

Formula:

The formula to convert energy from british thermal unit (btu) to kilowatt-hour is:

Energy(Kilowatt-hour) = Energy(British Thermal Unit (BTU))/3.41214163312794e3

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Energy(British Thermal Unit (BTU)) = 10000 in the above formula.

Energy(Kilowatt-hour) = 10000/3.41214163312794e3

Energy(Kilowatt-hour) = 2.9307

Final Answer:

Therefore, 10000 BTU is equal to 2.9307 kWh.

The energy is 2.9307 kWh, in kilowatt-hour.

2

Consider that an air conditioning unit consumes 50,000 British Thermal Units (BTU) of energy in a day.
Convert this energy consumption from BTUs to Kilowatt-hour.

Answer:

Given:

The energy in british thermal unit (btu) is:

Energy(British Thermal Unit (BTU)) = 50000

Formula:

The formula to convert energy from british thermal unit (btu) to kilowatt-hour is:

Energy(Kilowatt-hour) = Energy(British Thermal Unit (BTU))/3.41214163312794e3

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Energy(British Thermal Unit (BTU)) = 50000 in the above formula.

Energy(Kilowatt-hour) = 50000/3.41214163312794e3

Energy(Kilowatt-hour) = 14.6536

Final Answer:

Therefore, 50000 BTU is equal to 14.6536 kWh.

The energy is 14.6536 kWh, in kilowatt-hour.

British Thermal Unit (BTU)

The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of heat energy used in the United States and some other countries. One BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This unit is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to measure the heating and cooling capacity of equipment. It is also used in the context of power generation and fuel energy content, such as in natural gas, propane, and coal. The BTU is essential for understanding and managing energy transfer, consumption, and efficiency in various applications.

Kilowatt-hour

A Kilowatt-hour (kWh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of electrical energy consumed or generated over time. One kilowatt-hour is equivalent to one kilowatt (1,000 watts) of power used or produced for one hour. This unit is commonly used to quantify energy usage in households, industries, and various devices. For example, if a 1,000-watt appliance runs for one hour, it consumes 1 kWh of energy. Kilowatt-hours are essential for understanding energy consumption, billing in electric utilities, and managing energy efficiency.
