To convert kilocalories per hour to megawatts, multiply by 0.000001162222222.
The calculation uses 1 kcal/h = 0.000001162222222 MW. Results are displayed to at most 10 significant digits. Definitions can be exact while a displayed decimal is rounded. Match the displayed precision to your original measurement.
The formula
kcal/h- Input unit: kilocalories per hour
MW- Output unit: megawatts
How to use this calculator
- Enter a value in kcal/h.
- Multiply by the stored conversion factor.
- Read the result in MW; divide by the same factor to convert back.
