About Kelvin per watt

The kelvin per watt (K/W) is the SI coherent unit for thermal resistance, defined as the temperature rise (K) per unit of steady-state power dissipation (W). Used universally in electronic component datasheets (junction-to-ambient, junction-to-case), heat sink ratings, and thermal circuit analysis. A CPU heatsink at 0.3 K/W raises temperature 30 K per 100 W. 1 K/W = 1 °C/W.

About Second-degree Fahrenheit per BTU

The second-degree Fahrenheit per BTU (s·°F/BTU) equals (5/9)/1055.05585262 K/W ≈ 5.265 × 10⁻⁴ K/W. Used in US aerospace and nuclear engineering where thermal transient analyses express power as BTU/s and temperature in °F, e.g. rocket engine heat rejection and reactor coolant loop calculations. 1 s·°F/BTU ≈ 5.265 × 10⁻⁴ K/W.
