Convert Btu (th)/second to exajoule/second
Please provide values below to convert Btu (th)/second [Btu(th)/s] to exajoule/second [EJ/s], or Convert exajoule/second to Btu (th)/second.
How to Convert Btu (Th)/second to Exajoule/second
1 Btu(th)/s = 1.05435e-15 EJ/s
Example: convert 15 Btu(th)/s to EJ/s:
15 Btu(th)/s = 15 × 1.05435e-15 EJ/s = 1.581525e-14 EJ/s

Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
Exajoule/second
An exajoule per second (EJ/s) is a unit of power representing the transfer or conversion of one exajoule of energy every second.
History/Origin
The exajoule (EJ) is a metric unit of energy introduced as part of the International System of Units (SI) to measure large quantities of energy. The concept of power units like EJ/s emerged with the development of large-scale energy measurement, particularly in fields such as astrophysics and energy production, to quantify extremely high power levels.
Current Use
EJ/s is used primarily in theoretical and large-scale energy discussions, such as in astrophysics, planetary science, and global energy consumption analysis, where extremely high power levels are involved.
