What does one Mega Btu (IT) represent?

It equals one million British thermal units defined by the International Table, measuring thermal energy approximately equivalent to 1.055 × 10^9 joules.

What is a kilowatt-second used to measure?

Kilowatt-second measures energy delivered by one kilowatt of power applied for one second, equating to 1 kilojoule, often used for short-duration energy pulses.

Why convert from Mega Btu (IT) to kilowatt-second?

To translate large quantities of thermal energy into a smaller unit suitable for engineering and scientific analysis of short, transient energy deliveries.
