Enter the value above and the result appears instantly — the calculation runs entirely in your browser. Formula: value ÷ 3,412,142.

1 BTU per hour = 2.93071e-7 megawatts (shown to 6 significant figures — the converter itself computes at full precision). The reverse factor is 1 megawatt = 3,412,142 btu/hour.

1 BTU/h = 0.000000293071 MW; 10 BTU/h = 0.00000293071 MW; 100 BTU/h = 0.0000293071 MW. Use the full conversion table below for more reference values.

They are two flavors of horsepower: mechanical horsepower (1 hp = 745.7 W) is standard in the US, while metric horsepower or Pferdestärke (1 PS = 735.5 W) is common in Europe. Because 1 hp ≈ 1.014 PS, a 300 PS engine is about 296 hp — close enough for marketing, but not identical.
