Megawatt-hour to megaton of TNT converter (mwh to mttnt)

Conversion Formula

1 mwh = 8.60e-7 mttnt

Step-by-Step Explanation

1. Understand the base relationship:
   1 Megawatt-hour = 3.60G joules
   1 Megaton of TNT = 4.18P joules
2. Establish the conversion factor:
   1 mwh = (3.60G J) / (4.18P J/mttnt) = 8.60e-7 mttnt
3. Apply the conversion:
   Multiply the value in mwh by 8.60e-7 to get the equivalent in mttnt

Example Conversion

Convert 5 mwh to mttnt:

5 mwh × 8.60e-7 = 4.30e-6 mttnt
