      "q": "What is the formula to convert watts to BTU per hour?",
      "a": "Multiply the value in watts by 3.412141633: BTU per hour = watts × 3.412141633. For example, 5 W = 17.0607 BTU/h."

      "a": "Multiply by the inverse factor 0.2930710702 (watts = BTU per hour × 0.2930710702), or use the BTU per hour-to-watts page."
