To convert a measurement in megawatts to a measurement in btu per hour, multiply the power by the following conversion ratio: 3,412,142.450123 btu per hour/megawatt.

Since one megawatt is equal to 3,412,142.450123 btu per hour, you can use this simple formula to convert:

btu per hour = megawatts × 3,412,142.450123

The power in btu per hour is equal to the power in megawatts multiplied by 3,412,142.450123.

For example, here's how to convert 5 megawatts to btu per hour using the formula above.
btu per hour = (5 MW × 3,412,142.450123) = 17,060,712.250615 Btu/h

What Is a Megawatt?

One megawatt is the power equal to 1,000,000 watts, or the energy consumption at a rate of 1,000,000 joules per second.

The megawatt is a multiple of the watt, which is the SI derived unit for power. In the metric system, "mega" is the prefix for millions, or 106. Megawatts can be abbreviated as MW; for example, 1 megawatt can be written as 1 MW.
