What is the Formula to convert Gigawatts to BTU/hr?

The formula to convert given power from Gigawatts to BTU/hr is:

Power(BTU/hr) = (Power(Gigawatts) × 1e9)/0.29307107

Substitute the given value of power in gigawatts, i.e., Power(Gigawatts) in the above formula and simplify the right-hand side value. The resulting value is the power in btu/hr, i.e., Power(BTU/hr).

Calculation

Calculation will be done after you enter a valid input.

Examples

1

Consider that a large nuclear power plant generates 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of electricity.
Convert this power generation from gigawatts to BTU/hr.

Answer:

Given:

The power in gigawatts is:

Power(Gigawatts) = 1.5

Formula:

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

Power(BTU/hr) = (Power(Gigawatts) × 1e9)/0.29307107

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(Gigawatts) = 1.5 in the above formula.

Power(BTU/hr) = (1.5 × 1e9)/0.29307107

Power(BTU/hr) = 5118212452.6996

Final Answer:

Therefore, 1.5 GW is equal to 5118212452.6996 BTU/hr.

The power is 5118212452.6996 BTU/hr, in btu/hr.

2

Consider that a major city's electrical grid requires 2 gigawatts (GW) of power during peak hours.
Convert this power demand from gigawatts to BTU/hr.

Answer:

Given:

The power in gigawatts is:

Power(Gigawatts) = 2

Formula:

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

Power(BTU/hr) = (Power(Gigawatts) × 1e9)/0.29307107

Substitution:

Substitute given weight Power(Gigawatts) = 2 in the above formula.

Power(BTU/hr) = (2 × 1e9)/0.29307107

Power(BTU/hr) = 6824283270.2662

Final Answer:

Therefore, 2 GW is equal to 6824283270.2662 BTU/hr.

The power is 6824283270.2662 BTU/hr, in btu/hr.

Gigawatts

A gigawatt (GW) is equal to one billion watts. It is used to measure large-scale power output, such as the capacity of entire power grids or large power plants. Gigawatts are used in the context of national or regional energy production.

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.
