British thermal unit to watt-hour converter (btu to wh)

Conversion Formula

1 btu = 0.293072 wh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
   1 Watt-hour = 3.60k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 btu = (1.06k J) / (3.60k J/wh) = 0.293072 wh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in btu by 0.293072 to get the equivalent in wh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 btu to wh:

5 btu × 0.293072 = 1.465 wh
