Frequently Asked Questions
-
Why convert MBtu (IT)/hour to exawatts?
-
To relate typical HVAC or industrial heat transfer rates to very large power flows encountered in planetary or astrophysical contexts.
-
Is this conversion useful for everyday power measurements?
-
No, the vast difference in scale means it is mainly applicable for theoretical or large-scale energy flow assessments.
-
What industries commonly use MBtu (IT)/hour?
-
HVAC, boiler ratings, and industrial steam generation often use MBtu (IT)/hour to specify power.
Key Terminology
-
MBtu (IT)/hour
-
A power unit representing 1,000 British thermal units (International Table) delivered per hour, commonly used in heating and industrial energy measurements.
-
Exawatt (EW)
-
An SI unit of power equal to 10^18 watts, used to describe extremely large power levels such as planetary-scale or astrophysical energy flows.
