Unit Description
Microwatt (µW)
Definition
A microwatt (µW) is a unit of power equal to one millionth of a watt (10⁻⁶ W). It represents extremely small amounts of power found in ultra-low-power electronics, biological systems, and precision scientific instruments.
History
The microwatt became necessary with the advancement of microelectronics and the development of ultra-low-power devices. It was particularly important for describing power consumption in integrated circuits, sensors, and biological measurement systems.
Current Use
Microwatts are used in microelectronics, biological research, precision instruments, and ultra-low-power applications. They're essential for describing power consumption in microprocessors, biological sensors, and advanced scientific equipment.
BTU per Second (BTU/s)
Definition
BTU per second (BTU/s) is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer of one British Thermal Unit per second. It's used in thermal engineering and HVAC applications, particularly in imperial unit systems.
History
BTU per second developed with the British Thermal Unit system and became important in thermal engineering and HVAC applications. It provided a power unit consistent with BTU energy measurements, particularly useful in heating and cooling system design.
Current Use
BTU per second is used in HVAC engineering, thermal system design, and heating/cooling applications. It's standard in imperial unit thermal calculations, boiler specifications, and air conditioning system ratings.

Conversion Examples
Convert 1 Microwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 9.47817e-10 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = µW ÷ 1.05506e+9
- Calculation: 1 µW ÷ 1.05506e+9 = 9.47817e-10 BTU/s
Convert 10 Microwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 9.47817e-10 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = µW ÷ 1.05506e+9
- Calculation: 10 µW ÷ 1.05506e+9 = 9.47817e-9 BTU/s
Convert 100 Microwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 9.47817e-10 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = µW ÷ 1.05506e+9
- Calculation: 100 µW ÷ 1.05506e+9 = 9.47817e-8 BTU/s
Convert 1,000 Microwatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 µW = 9.47817e-10 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = µW ÷ 1.05506e+9
- Calculation: 1,000 µW ÷ 1.05506e+9 = 9.47817e-7 BTU/s
