Megaelectronvolt to British thermal unit converter (mev to btu)

Conversion Formula

1 mev = 1.52e-16 btu

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megaelectronvolt = 1.60e-13 joules
   1 British Thermal Unit = 1.06k joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mev = (1.60e-13 J) / (1.06k J/btu) = 1.52e-16 btu
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mev by 1.52e-16 to get the equivalent in btu

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mev to btu:

5 mev × 1.52e-16 = 7.59e-16 btu
