Discover the ease of converting Kilowatt-seconds to British thermal units (th) with our user-friendly kWs to Btu converter, crafted by Newtum for accurate energy conversions.
A kilowatt-second (kWs) is a unit of energy that represents the amount of work done or energy transferred when one kilowatt of power is exerted for one second. It is a standard unit within the International System of Units, often used to measure electricity consumption or generation.
Definition of British thermal unitThe British thermal unit (Btu) 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 at the temperature that water has its greatest density (approximately 39 degrees Fahrenheit).
| Kilowatt-second (kWs) | British thermal unit (Btu) |
|---|---|
| 1 kWs | 3.412 Btu |
| 2 kWs | 6.824 Btu |
| 3 kWs | 10.236 Btu |
| 4 kWs | 13.648 Btu |
| 5 kWs | 17.060 Btu |
| 6 kWs | 20.472 Btu |
| 7 kWs | 23.884 Btu |
| 8 kWs | 27.296 Btu |
| 9 kWs | 30.708 Btu |
| 10 kWs | 34.120 Btu |
1 kWs = 3.412 Btu
1 Btu = 0.293 kWh
Example 1:
convert 5 kWs to Btu:
5 kWs = 5 × 3.412 Btu = 17.060 Btu
Example 2:
convert 10 kWs to Btu:
10 kWs = 10 × 3.412 Btu = 34.120 Btu
A brief history of the Kilowatt-second to British thermal unit (th) Converter traces back to the time when the need for energy conversion became essential in scientific calculations and energy management. This tool simplifies the conversion between the metric and imperial systems, aiding professionals across various sectors.
