What does megajoule per second measure?

Megajoule per second (MJ/s) measures power as the rate of energy transfer equal to one million joules per second, equivalent to one megawatt.

When should I use Btu (th)/second for power?

Btu (th)/second is used to quantify thermal energy flow, particularly in heating, cooling, and energy conversion systems.

Is the conversion valid for non-thermal power measurements?

No, this conversion is intended for thermal power contexts and may not be suitable for non-thermal power without proper consideration.
