Dear Ken

How is this:

1Kilo-Watt-hour (thermal) or kWhr(t) = 859.8452 kcal = 3600 kJoules =
3412.142 BTU where 1 BTU = 1055.0557 Joules.

Regards
Crispin

Does anuone know where I might be able to find some calculations on  
how many btu it takes to bring water up to a temperature. I use the  
1lb to 1 degree temperature and when I calculate it using specific  
heat of water which is 4.184 Joules per gram and convert it to BTU, I  
come up with different figures.
