About Converting Yoctowatts to BTU per hour
Yoctowatt and BTU per hour 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: Yoctowatt is 1e-24 watt units, and power rate using BTU per hour.
Formula
btu per hour = yoctowatts × 3.412142e-24
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 yoctowatt equals 1e-24 base units, and 1 btu per hour equals 0.293071070172 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct yoctowatt-to-btu per hour factor of 3.412142e-24.
Simple example
1 yW × 3.412142e-24 = 3.412142e-24 BTU/h
1 yoctowatt = 3.412142e-24 btu per hour.
Real-world example
100 yW × 3.412142e-24 = 3.412142e-22 BTU/h
100 yoctowatts = 3.412142e-22 btu per hour.
