Convert Joule to British thermal unit

Unit definitions

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.

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.

How to convert Joule to British thermal unit

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = \text{Energy}_{\text{J}} \cdot 0.0009478133944988910583284362974617557$$

Examples

Example 1

Convert $25.0\ \text{J}$ to $\text{Btu}$.

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 25.0 \cdot 0.0009478133944988910583284362974617557$$

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 0.023695$$

$$\therefore \ 25.0\ \text{J} = 0.023695 \ \text{Btu}$$

Example 2

Convert $75.0\ \text{J}$ to $\text{Btu}$.

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 75.0 \cdot 0.0009478133944988910583284362974617557$$

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 0.071086$$

$$\therefore \ 75.0\ \text{J} = 0.071086 \ \text{Btu}$$

Example 3

Convert $105.0\ \text{J}$ to $\text{Btu}$.

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 105.0 \cdot 0.0009478133944988910583284362974617557$$

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 0.09952$$

$$\therefore \ 105.0\ \text{J} = 0.09952 \ \text{Btu}$$

Example 4

Convert $145.0\ \text{J}$ to $\text{Btu}$.

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 145.0 \cdot 0.0009478133944988910583284362974617557$$

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 0.137433$$

$$\therefore \ 145.0\ \text{J} = 0.137433 \ \text{Btu}$$

Example 5

Convert $165.0\ \text{J}$ to $\text{Btu}$.

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 165.0 \cdot 0.0009478133944988910583284362974617557$$

$$\text{Energy}_{\text{Btu}} = 0.156389$$

$$\therefore \ 165.0\ \text{J} = 0.156389 \ \text{Btu}$$
