A Kiloelectron-volt (keV) is a unit of energy commonly used in the fields of particle physics and astrophysics. It is equivalent to 1,000 electron-volts and is a measure of the kinetic energy gained or lost by a single electron when it moves across an electric potential difference of one volt. In other contexts, keV can also represent the energy of photons, representing their wavelength and frequency.
Definition of British thermal unitThe British thermal unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat; it is part of the British imperial and United States customary units. Defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, the Btu is a crucial unit in power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. Its value is approximately 1055 joules (J).
| Kiloelectron-volt (keV) | British thermal unit (th) |
|---|---|
| 1 keV | 3.8293e-20 Btu(th) |

| 100 keV | 3.8293e-18 Btu(th) |
| 500 keV | 1.9147e-17 Btu(th) |
| 1000 keV | 3.8293e-17 Btu(th) |
| 5000 keV | 1.9147e-16 Btu(th) |
| 10000 keV | 3.8293e-16 Btu(th) |
| 50000 keV | 1.9147e-15 Btu(th) |
| 100000 keV | 3.8293e-15 Btu(th) |
| 500000 keV | 1.9147e-14 Btu(th) |
1 keV = 3.8293e-20 Btu(th)
1 Btu(th) = 2.6114e+19 keV
Example 1:
Convert 50 keV to Btu(th):
50 keV = 50 × 3.8293e-20 Btu(th) = 1.91465e-18 Btu(th)
Example 2:
Convert 250 keV to Btu(th):
250 keV = 250 × 3.8293e-20 Btu(th) = 9.57325e-18 Btu(th)
The concept of converting Kiloelectron-volts to British thermal units (th) emerged from the need to bridge nuclear and thermal energy descriptions. Researchers and engineers working across disciplines such as particle physics and thermal engineering required a common language to quantify energy in various forms, leading to the development of this conversion method.
