Electronvolts (eV) to British thermal units (BTU) Conversion
Electronvolts
The electronvolt (eV) is a unit of energy equal to exactly 1.602176634 × 10⁻¹⁹ joules, defined as the kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerated through a potential difference of one volt. It is the standard unit in particle physics, atomic physics, and solid-state physics. Visible light photons carry 1.8–3.1 eV of energy; X-ray photons carry 100 eV to 100 keV; the proton beams at CERN's LHC reach 6.5 teraelectronvolts (TeV).
British thermal units
The British thermal unit (BTU) is a unit of energy approximately equal to 1,055.06 joules, defined as the energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It remains the standard unit for heating and cooling capacity in HVAC systems in the United States: air conditioners and furnaces are rated in BTU/hour. A typical residential air conditioner is rated at 5,000–24,000 BTU/h. One BTU equals approximately 0.000293 kWh.
