I am trying to convert British Units into SI units for a heat transfer coefficient. My worry is the time in the british units (BTU/hft^2 -F-). The SI unit for heat of transfer does not have any time in it (W/m^2k). I tried converting W into Nm and then N into Kgm/s^2 and we are left with (Kg/s^2 -k-) but this does not relate to BTU in British units.

 

If someone can show me how to get time into the SI units or tell me that it is not relevant I would appreciate it.

A Watt is a Joule per second. There's a direct conversion between Joules and BTUs if you look it up.

Ah right thanks.
