Convert Btu (th)/second to megawatt
Please provide values below to convert Btu (th)/second [Btu(th)/s] to megawatt [MW], or Convert megawatt to Btu (th)/second.
1 Btu(th)/s = 0.00105435 MW. To convert Btu (th)/second to megawatt, multiply the value by 0.00105435; to go the other way, divide by it (1 MW = 948.451652677 Btu(th)/s). Both units measure power and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 Btu(th)/s = 0.00105435 MW
- 1 MW = 948.451652677 Btu(th)/s
- 10 Btu(th)/s = 0.0105435 MW

Btu (Th)/second
Btu (th)/second is a unit of power representing the rate of energy transfer, specifically one British thermal unit (th) per second.
History/Origin
The British thermal unit (th) has been used historically in the United States for measuring heat energy, and its use in power units like Btu (th)/s dates back to traditional energy and heat transfer calculations in engineering and thermodynamics.
Current Use
Btu (th)/second is primarily used in the United States for industrial and engineering applications involving heat transfer rates, although it is less common compared to SI units like watts.
Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
