Examples

1

Consider that a luxury home's HVAC system consumes 100,000 BTU/hr to maintain indoor comfort.
Convert this power consumption from BTU/hr to Kilowatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in btu/hr is:

Power(BTU/hr) = 100000

Formula:

The formula to convert power from btu/hr to kilowatts is:

Power(Kilowatts) = (Power(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107) / 1e3

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(BTU/hr) = 100000 in the above formula.

Power(Kilowatts) = (100000 × 0.29307107) / 1e3

Power(Kilowatts) = 29.3071

Final Answer:

Therefore, 100000 BTU/hr is equal to 29.3071 kW.

The power is 29.3071 kW, in kilowatts.

2

Consider that a high-efficiency furnace operates at 85,000 BTU/hr.
Convert this power output from BTU/hr to Kilowatts.

Answer:

Given:

The power in btu/hr is:

Power(BTU/hr) = 85000

Formula:

The formula to convert power from btu/hr to kilowatts is:

Power(Kilowatts) = (Power(BTU/hr) × 0.29307107) / 1e3

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(BTU/hr) = 85000 in the above formula.

Power(Kilowatts) = (85000 × 0.29307107) / 1e3

Power(Kilowatts) = 24.911

Final Answer:

Therefore, 85000 BTU/hr is equal to 24.911 kW.

The power is 24.911 kW, in kilowatts.

BTU/hr

The British Thermal Unit per hour (BTU/hr) is a unit of power used to describe the rate of heat energy transfer. One BTU is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. When expressed as BTU per hour, it indicates the amount of heat energy transferred per hour. This unit is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to specify the cooling or heating capacity of an appliance. It is also used in the context of power generation and thermal energy production.

Kilowatts

A kilowatt (kW) is equal to 1,000 watts. It is commonly used to express the power output of engines and the power consumption of electrical devices. For example, household appliances and electric vehicles are often rated in kilowatts.
