What does Btu (th)/minute measure?

It measures the rate of thermal energy transfer, specifically how many thermochemical British thermal units occur per minute.

Why convert Btu (th)/minute to megawatt [MW]?

Converting helps compare thermal power ratings used in heating systems with electrical power values common in power generation and energy management.

Does this converter consider efficiency or energy losses?

No, it provides a direct conversion by unit equivalence and does not include efficiencies or other practical factors.
