One kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electrical energy is equivalent to 3412 Btu. How many Joules are there in one Btu?
1 BTU * 1kWh/3412BTU * 1000W/kW * 3600s/hr * 1J/Ws
= (1000*3600)/(3412) J
To convert Btu to Joules, we need to use the conversion factor 1 Btu = 1055.06 Joules.
Therefore, there are 1055.06 Joules in one Btu.
To determine how many Joules are in one British thermal unit (Btu), we can use the conversion factor provided between kilowatt-hours (kWh) and Btu.
We know that 1 kWh is equal to 3412 Btu. Now, we need to convert Btu to Joules.
To do this, we need to know the conversion factor between Joules and Btu.
The conversion factor between Joules and Btu is:
1 Btu = 1055.05585 Joules (approximately)
Now, we can set up a conversion factor equation to find the number of Joules in one Btu:
1 kWh = 3412 Btu
1 Btu = X Joules
To find the value of X (Joules in one Btu), we can set up a proportion:
1 kWh / 3412 Btu = X Joules / 1 Btu
Cross-multiplying and solving for X, we get:
X = (1 kWh / 3412 Btu) * 1 Btu
Simplifying the equation, we get:
X = 1 kWh / 3412
Finally, we can substitute the value of X into the equation:
X = 1 kWh / 3412
X ≈ 0.00029307107 kWh
Therefore, there are approximately 0.00029307107 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in one British thermal unit (Btu).
