Unit Description
Nanowatt (nW)
Definition
A nanowatt (nW) is a unit of power equal to one billionth of a watt (10⁻⁹ W). It represents incredibly small amounts of power found in advanced microelectronics, quantum devices, and ultra-sensitive scientific instruments.
History
The nanowatt became relevant with the development of nanotechnology and quantum electronics. It provided a scale for describing power levels in quantum devices, advanced semiconductors, and ultra-sensitive measurement systems where power consumption approaches fundamental limits.
Current Use
Nanowatts are used in nanotechnology, quantum electronics, ultra-sensitive instruments, and advanced research applications. They're essential for quantum device specifications, nanoelectronics, and precision scientific measurements at the molecular level.
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 Nanowatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 9.47817e-13 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = nW ÷ 1.05506e+12
- Calculation: 1 nW ÷ 1.05506e+12 = 9.47817e-13 BTU/s
Convert 10 Nanowatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 9.47817e-13 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = nW ÷ 1.05506e+12
- Calculation: 10 nW ÷ 1.05506e+12 = 9.47817e-12 BTU/s
Convert 100 Nanowatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 9.47817e-13 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = nW ÷ 1.05506e+12
- Calculation: 100 nW ÷ 1.05506e+12 = 9.47817e-11 BTU/s
Convert 1,000 Nanowatt to BTU per Second
- Conversion Factor: 1 nW = 9.47817e-13 BTU/s
- Conversion Formula: BTU/s = nW ÷ 1.05506e+12
- Calculation: 1,000 nW ÷ 1.05506e+12 = 9.47817e-10 BTU/s
