K/MWtoK/(BTU/h)

Convert kelvins per megawatt (K/MW) to kelvins per BTU per hour (K/(BTU/h)).

Factor1 K/MW = 2.930711e-7 K/(BTU/h)

Converter

K/MW

Accepts numbers or expressions, e.g. 150 + 14.7

Result
0.293071K/(BTU/h)

Formula

Formula
K/(BTU/h) = K/MW × 2.930711e-7

Multiply any value in kelvins per megawatt by 2.930711e-7 to obtain the value in kelvins per BTU per hour.

Worked example

Convert 1.00000e+6 K/MW to K/(BTU/h).

  1. 01Start with 1.00000e+6 K/MW.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 2.930711e-7 = 0.293071 K/(BTU/h).
Result1.00000e+6 K/MW = 0.293071 K/(BTU/h)

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from K/MW to K/(BTU/h)?
1 K/MW equals 2.930711e-7 K/(BTU/h). To convert, multiply the value in kelvins per megawatt by 2.930711e-7.
How do I convert 1 K/MW to K/(BTU/h)?
1 K/MW = 2.93071e-7 K/(BTU/h). For any value, multiply by 2.930711e-7.
How do I convert K/(BTU/h) back to K/MW?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 3412142. So 1 K/(BTU/h) = 3.41214e+6 K/MW.
When would I need to convert kelvin per megawatt to kelvin per BTU per hour?
Thermal-resistance conversions between K/MW and K/(BTU/h) appear in electronics cooling (heat-sink and TIM datasheets), transformer, motor and generator thermal-rise calculations, lumped-element R-C thermal-network modelling, and transient heat-transfer analysis. K/W and °C/W are the SI standard; mK/W and µK/W cover sub-SI heat-sink and TIM datasheet ladders; K/kW and K/MW cover large-equipment and power-plant notation; °F·h/BTU and °F·s/BTU are the US convention. This category is lumped thermal resistance only — it does NOT include area-normalized R-value (m²·K/W), thermal-conductivity inverse with geometry, or U-value calculations, all of which are different physical quantities.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
