How to Convert Joule/Second to BTU/Hour

To convert from Joule/Second (J/s) to BTU/Hour (BTU/h), multiply the value by 3.4121416331.

Formula: BTU/h = J/s × 3.4121416331

Reverse: J/s = BTU/h × 0.2930710702

Step-by-Step Example

Start with your value in Joule/Second. For example: 5 J/s
Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 3.4121416331
The result is: 17.060708 BTU/h

About Joule/Second

The joule/second (J/s) is a unit of power. One joule/second equals 1 watt. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other power unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: power calculations, engineering and science, education.

About BTU/Hour

The btu/hour (BTU/h) is a unit of power. One btu/hour equals 0.2930710702 watts. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other power unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.

Common uses: power calculations, engineering and science, education.
