Kilowatt-hour to British thermal unit converter (kwh to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 kwh = 3.41k btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilowatt-hour = 3.60M joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kwh = (3.60M J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 3.41k btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kwh by 3.41k to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kwh to btu:

5 kwh × 3.41k = 17.06k btu
