Kilocalorie to megawatt-hour converter (kcal to mwh)

Conversion Formula

1 kcal = 1.16e-6 mwh

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Kilocalorie = 4.18k joules
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 kcal = (4.18k J) / (3.60G J/mwh) = 1.16e-6 mwh
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in kcal by 1.16e-6 to get the equivalent in mwh

Example Conversion

Convert 5 kcal to mwh:

5 kcal × 1.16e-6 = 5.81e-6 mwh
