Calorie to megawatt-hour converter (cal to mwh)

Conversion Formula

1 cal = 1.16e-9 mwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Calorie = 4.184 joules
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 cal = (4.184 J) / (3.60G J/mwh) = 1.16e-9 mwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in cal by 1.16e-9 to get the equivalent in mwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 cal to mwh:

5 cal × 1.16e-9 = 5.81e-9 mwh
