Unlock the potential of precise energy conversion with our Erg/second to Btu (IT)/hour Converter. Developed by Newtum, this tool simplifies the conversion process, making it accessible for everyone. Discover how effortlessly you can translate ergs per second into Btu per hour and satisfy your curiosity about energy measurement.
Erg per second is a unit of power in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It represents the rate of energy transfer equivalent to one erg of work being done per second. An erg is a unit of energy equal to 10^-7 joules. Although erg per second is not widely used in practical applications, its basis in the CGS system makes it relevant in scientific contexts. Understanding erg per second provides insights into energy transfer rates at a microscopic level, facilitating a deeper comprehension of physical phenomena in fields such as physics and engineering.
Definition of Btu (IT)/hourBtu (IT) per hour is a unit of power that measures the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. It is based on the British thermal unit (Btu), which is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The 'IT' stands for International Table, which refers to a standardized value of the Btu. Btu per hour is commonly used in the fields of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) to quantify the power of heating and cooling systems. It helps in determining the energy efficiency and capacity of these systems.
| Erg/second | Btu (IT)/hour |
|---|---|
| 1 erg/s | 3.4121e-11 Btu/h |
| 10 erg/s | 3.4121e-10 Btu/h |
| 100 erg/s | 3.4121e-9 Btu/h |
| 1000 erg/s | 3.4121e-8 Btu/h |
| 10000 erg/s | 3.4121e-7 Btu/h |
| 100000 erg/s | 3.4121e-6 Btu/h |
| 1000000 erg/s | 3.4121e-5 Btu/h |
| 10000000 erg/s | 3.4121e-4 Btu/h |
| 100000000 erg/s | 3.4121e-3 Btu/h |
| 1000000000 erg/s | 3.4121e-2 Btu/h |
1 erg/s = 3.4121e-11 Btu/h
1 Btu/h = 2.93071e+10 erg/s
Example 1:
Convert 5 erg/s to Btu/h:
5 erg/s = 5 × 3.4121e-11 Btu/h = 1.70605e-10 Btu/h
Example 2:
Convert 3.5 erg/s to Btu/h:
3.5 erg/s = 3.5 × 3.4121e-11 Btu/h = 1.194235e-10 Btu/h
