British thermal units to watt-hour Conversion
1 British thermal units (BTU) is equal to 0.2930710702 watt-hour (W⋅hr).
1 BTU = 0.2930710702 W⋅hr
or
1 W⋅hr = 3.412141633 BTU
Formula
To convert a energy from British thermal units (BTU) to watt-hour (W⋅hr), divide the energy in British thermal units by 3.412141633
e(W⋅hr) = e(BTU) / 3.412141633
Examples:
Convert 10 British thermal units to watt-hour:
e(W⋅hr) = 10BTU / 3.412141633 = 2.930710702 W⋅hr
