conversion of units 1

[rblung]

I'm looking to convert btu/hour/square foot into kWh/day. Is there a formula or technique for this? Thanks.

In my opinion, the units do not match and you just cannot do any meaningful and successful conversion ...

I suggest you download a converter like Uconeer, or learn what the units mean.

There is no formula or technique that will make an unbalanced ft^2 on one side disappear on the other side.

BTU/hr per ft2 is a heat flux. The metric/SI equivalent would be W per m2.

kWh/day is essentially kW (the time units in the top and bottom essentially cancel out with a conversion factor).

BTU/hr is equivalent, unit wise, to kW so you need an area term for the kWh/day to be able to convert.

Thanks for the responses. I wasn't sure a conversion could be made, I now realize that I had been given some partial data.
