Heat added to a material lifts its temperature. Divide the Btu by the mass and the specific heat. Quick answer: Divide the Btu by the mass in pounds times the specific heat in Btu per pound per °F. For example, 5,000 Btu into 100 lb with specific heat 1 is 50 °F, 10,000 Btu into…
Engines are rated in horsepower, while heat is rated in Btu per hour. Divide Btu/h by 2,544.43 to switch. Quick answer: multiply the result in Btu/h by 0.00039301. For example, 10,000 Btu/h is 3.93 hp, 2,544.4336 Btu/h is 1 hp and 5,000 Btu/h is 1.965 hp. The Btu/h to hp formula One mechanical horsepower is…
A label gives Btu per hour, but you want watts. Divide Btu/h by 3.4121 to switch. Quick answer: multiply the result in Btu/h by 0.29307. For example, 10,000 Btu/h is 2,930.71 W, 12,000 Btu/h is 3,516.85 W and 5,000 Btu/h is 1,465.36 W. The Btu/h to W formula One watt is about 3.412142 Btu per…
