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 (kelvin per watt (K/W)) without arbitrary rounding:

V_{\text{target}} = V_{\text{source}} \times \left( \frac{k_{\text{source} \to \text{SI}}}{k_{\text{target} \to \text{SI}}} \right)

Universal Dimensional Conversion Law (ISO 80000 / NIST SP 811)

1. Source SI Bridge (k_source):1 °F·h/Btu = 1.895634 kelvin per watt (K/W)

2. Target SI Bridge (k_target):1 °F·s/Btu (th) = 0.000526917 kelvin per watt (K/W)

Step-by-step substitution for °F·h/BTU (IT) → °F·s/BTU (th):V(°F·s/Btu (th)) = V(°F·h/Btu) × ( 1.895634 / 0.000526917 ) = V(°F·h/Btu) × 3597.595067
