Discover the ease of converting energy from ergs to British thermal units (th) with our Erg to BTUth Converter, developed by Newtum. Dive into the world of precise energy conversion, and satisfy your curiosity with our user-friendly tool.
An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is equivalent to the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for one centimeter. Precisely, one erg is 10^-7 joules. This small unit is often used in physics and astrophysics to measure energy levels in a concise manner.
Definition of BTUthA British thermal unit (th) is a traditional unit of heat; it is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. One BTUth is approximately 1055 joules. It is commonly used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries.
| Erg | British thermal unit th (BTUth) |
|---|---|
| 1,000 erg | 9.48 x 10^-7 BTUth |
| 10,000 erg | 9.48 x 10^-6 BTUth |
| 100,000 erg | 9.48 x 10^-5 BTUth |
| 1,000,000 erg | 9.48 x 10^-4 BTUth |
| 10,000,000 erg | 0.00948 BTUth |
| 100,000,000 erg | 0.0948 BTUth |
| 1,000,000,000 erg | 0.948 BTUth |
| 10,000,000,000 erg | 9.48 BTUth |
| 100,000,000,000 erg | 94.8 BTUth |
| 1,000,000,000,000 erg | 948 BTUth |
1 erg = 9.48 x 10^-11 BTUth
1 BTUth = 1.055 x 10^10 ergs
Example 1:
Converting 10,000 ergs to BTUth:
10,000 ergs = 10,000 x 9.48 x 10^-11 BTUth = 9.48 x 10^-7 BTUth
Example 2:
Converting 50,000,000 ergs to BTUth:
50,000,000 ergs = 50,000,000 x 9.48 x 10^-11 BTUth = 0.00474 BTUth
The concept of energy conversion from erg to British thermal units (th) has a historical significance in the fields of physics and engineering. This conversion reflects the evolution of measurement systems from the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) to the more widespread use of the BTUth for heat energy applications.
Understanding the practical applications of converting erg to BTUth enhances the relevance of this tool in real-world scenarios.
Example 1: Converting 2,000,000 ergs to BTUth yields 2,000,000 x 9.48 x 10^-11 BTUth = 0.001896 BTUth.
Example 2: Converting 5,500,000,000 ergs to BTUth gives 5,500,000,000 x 9.48 x 10^-11 BTUth = 5.214 BTUth.
