What does 1 megawatt represent in power terms?

One megawatt equals one million watts and measures the rate of energy transfer or conversion.

Why convert megawatts to Btu (th)/minute?

To relate large-scale electrical power capacity to thermal energy flow rates common in heating and cooling applications.

Is the conversion affected by system efficiency?

No, the conversion assumes steady-state power without adjusting for losses or efficiency variations.
