How to convert Btu IT per hour to megawatts
Mechanical horsepower is 550 foot-pounds-force per second. Metric horsepower uses 75 kilogram-force meters per second and has a different value.
Use x for the value in Btu IT/h, b for the intermediate value in W, and y for the result in MW.
MW = Btu IT/h × 0.2930710701722222 ÷ 1000000
Worked examples
10 Btu IT/h ≈ 0.00000293071070172 MW
Step 1: (10 × 0.293071070172) ≈ 2.93071070172 W.
Step 2: 2.93071070172 ÷ 1000000 ≈ 0.00000293071070172 MW.20 Btu IT/h ≈ 0.00000586142140344 MW
Step 1: (20 × 0.293071070172) ≈ 5.86142140344 W.
Step 2: 5.86142140344 ÷ 1000000 ≈ 0.00000586142140344 MW.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Btu IT per hour
Btu IT per hour (Btu IT/h) measures power under the conventions above. The base value in W is (x × 0.293071070172), where x is the numerical value in Btu IT/h. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Megawatts
Megawatts (MW) measures power under the conventions above. The base value in W is (x × 1000000), where x is the numerical value in MW. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
