Why does the energy content of fuel oil barrels vary?

The exact energy content depends on the fuel oil's grade and density, which are not constant and impact conversion results.

What does one megawatt-hour represent?

One megawatt-hour equals one megawatt of power sustained over one hour, which is a standard energy measurement unit.

Can this conversion be used for precise engineering calculations?

The conversion provides average values, so it is best suited for general reporting rather than exact scientific measurements.
