Convert British thermal unit to Joule
Unit definitions
British thermal unit
The British thermal unit (Btu) is the amount of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
Joule
The joule is the SI unit of energy. It is defined as the work done when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter.
How to convert British thermal unit to Joule
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = \text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} \cdot 1055.06$$
Examples
Example 1
Convert $35.0\ \text{Btu}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 35.0 \cdot 1055.06$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 36927.1$$
$$\therefore \ 35.0\ \text{Btu} = 36927.1 \ \text{J}$$
Example 2
Convert $75.0\ \text{Btu}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 75.0 \cdot 1055.06$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 79129.5$$
$$\therefore \ 75.0\ \text{Btu} = 79129.5 \ \text{J}$$
Example 3
Convert $100.0\ \text{Btu}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 100.0 \cdot 1055.06$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 105506$$
$$\therefore \ 100.0\ \text{Btu} = 105506 \ \text{J}$$
Example 4
Convert $145.0\ \text{Btu}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 145.0 \cdot 1055.06$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 152983.7$$
$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{Btu} = 152983.7 \ \text{J}$$
Example 5
Convert $200.0\ \text{Btu}$ to $\text{J}$.
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 200.0 \cdot 1055.06$$
$$\text{Energy}_{\text{J}} = 211012$$
$$\therefore \ 200.0\ \text{Btu} = 211012 \ \text{J}$$
