How to Convert CHU/hour/square foot/°C to Btu (th)/hour/square foot/°F

Converting CHU/hour/square foot/°C (CHU/(h·ft²·°C)) to Btu (th)/hour/square foot/°F (Btu (th)/(h·ft²·°F)) is a core calculation in Heat Transfer Coefficient, which quantifies the proportionality constant between the heat flux and the thermodynamic driving temperature difference. This calculation navigates the boundary between the International Metric System (SI) and British Imperial / US Customary engineering standards. In contemporary metrology, Imperial units are defined in terms of exact SI standards via international agreements—notably NIST SP 811 and the 1959 International Yard and Pound Agreement. Exactly 1 CHU/hour/square foot/°C equals 1.00067 Btu (th)/hour/square foot/°F, while 1 Btu (th)/(h·ft²·°F) equals 0.99933 CHU/(h·ft²·°C).

Mathematical Conversion Derivation via Coherent SI Base Unit

Under the International System of Quantities (ISQ), dimensional conversion between non-SI units is rigorously resolved by bridging through the coherent SI base unit (watt per square meter kelvin (W/(m²·K))) without arbitrary rounding:

Vtarget=Vsource×(ksource→SIktarget→SI)V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

1. Source SI Bridge (ksource):1 CHU/(h·ft²·°C) = 5.678269 watt per square meter kelvin (W/(m²·K))
2. Target SI Bridge (ktarget):1 Btu (th)/(h·ft²·°F) = 5.674467 watt per square meter kelvin (W/(m²·K))
Step-by-step substitution for CHU/hour/square foot/°C → Btu (th)/hour/square foot/°F:V(Btu (th)/(h·ft²·°F)) = V(CHU/(h·ft²·°C)) × ( 5.678269 / 5.674467 ) = V(CHU/(h·ft²·°C)) × 1.00067
