About Million BTU (MMBtu, IT)
MMBtu means one million IT BTU: 1,000,000 × 1,055.05585262 J. It is widely used in gas and thermal energy markets.
About Kilowatt-hour (thermal)
Kilowatt-hour (thermal) is shown as a thermal-energy label and uses the same joule definition as kWh (3.6 MJ).
How to convert million btu (mmbtu, it) to kilowatt-hour (thermal)
1 million btu (mmbtu, it) is equal to 293.07107017222222 kilowatt-hour (thermal) when both are expressed in joule-equivalents:
1 mmbtu = (1,055,055,852.62 J ÷ 3,600,000 J) kwh_th = 293.07107017222222 kwh_th
Each million btu (mmbtu, it) is defined as 1,055,055,852.62 J and each kilowatt-hour (thermal) as 3,600,000 J in this tool, so one mmbtu equals 1,055,055,852.62 ÷ 3,600,000 kwh_th = 293.07107017222222 kwh_th.
Let d(mmbtu) be the numeric amount in Million BTU (MMBtu, IT) (mmbtu), and d(kwh_th) the amount in Kilowatt-hour (thermal) (kwh_th). Then:
d(kwh_th) = d(mmbtu) × (1,055,055,852.62 / 3,600,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many mmbtu fit into one kwh_th (joules per kwh_th divided by joules per mmbtu):
d(kwh_th) = d(mmbtu) ÷ 0.00341214163313
Or: kilowatt-hour (thermal) = million btu (mmbtu, it) ÷ 0.00341214163313
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mmbtu to kilowatt-hour (thermal)
1 mmbtu = 1 mmbtu × (1,055,055,852.62/3,600,000) kwh_th = 293.071070172 kwh_th
1 mmbtu = 1 mmbtu ÷ 0.00341214163313 = 293.071070172 kwh_th
Example #2: Convert 10 mmbtu to kilowatt-hour (thermal)
10 mmbtu = 10 mmbtu × (1,055,055,852.62/3,600,000) kwh_th = 2930.71070172 kwh_th
10 mmbtu = 10 mmbtu ÷ 0.00341214163313 = 2930.71070172 kwh_th
Summary
To convert Million BTU (MMBtu, IT) to Kilowatt-hour (thermal), multiply the value in mmbtu by the ratio of joules per mmbtu divided by joules per kwh_th. Equivalently: value_kwh_th = value_mmbtu × (1055055852.62 / 3600000). Numerically, 1 mmbtu equals 293.0710701722222 kwh_th.
