About Converting BTU per hour to Decawatts
BTU per hour and Decawatt both describe power output, and the conversion is a routine part of comparing an engine or motor's spec sheet across countries that use different power units. Specifically: Power rate using BTU per hour, and decawatt is 10 watt units.
Formula
decawatts = btu per hour × 0.0293071070172
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 btu per hour equals 0.293071070172 base units, and 1 decawatt equals 10 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct btu per hour-to-decawatt factor of 0.0293071070172.
Simple example
1 BTU/h × 0.02930710702 = 0.029307107 daW
1 btu per hour = 0.029307107 decawatts.
Real-world example
100 BTU/h × 0.02930710702 = 2.930710702 daW
100 btu per hour = 2.930710702 decawatts.
