About Foot-pound per Second
Foot-pounds per second is a mechanical power rate: 1 ft·lb/s = 1.3558179483314004 W (exactly, from the international foot definition).
About Megawatt
One megawatt is one million watts. Utility generation, large drives, and grid studies use MW.
How to convert foot-pounds per second to megawatts
1 foot-pound per second is equal to 0.00000135581795 megawatt when both are expressed in watt-equivalents:
1 ft_lb_s = (1.3558179483314003 W ÷ 1,000,000 W) megaw = 0.00000135581795 megaw
Each foot-pound per second is defined as 1.3558179483314003 W and each megawatt as 1,000,000 W in this tool, so one ft_lb_s equals 1.3558179483314003 ÷ 1,000,000 megaw = 0.00000135581795 megaw.
Let d(ft_lb_s) be the numeric value in Foot-pound per Second (ft_lb_s), and d(megaw) the value in Megawatt (megaw). Then:
d(megaw) = d(ft_lb_s) × (1.3558179483314003 / 1,000,000)
Equivalently, divide by how many ft_lb_s fit into one megaw (watts per megaw divided by watts per ft_lb_s):
d(megaw) = d(ft_lb_s) ÷ 737562.14927726541646
Or: megawatt = foot-pound per second ÷ 737562.14927726541646
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 ft_lb_s to megawatt
1 ft_lb_s = 1 ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003/1,000,000) megaw = 0.0000013558 megaw
1 ft_lb_s = 1 ft_lb_s ÷ 737562.14927726541646 = 0.0000013558 megaw
Intermediate watts: 1.3558179483 W
Example #2: Convert 10 ft_lb_s to megawatt
10 ft_lb_s = 10 ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003/1,000,000) megaw = 0.0000135582 megaw
10 ft_lb_s = 10 ft_lb_s ÷ 737562.14927726541646 = 0.0000135582 megaw
Intermediate watts: 13.5581794833 W
Summary
To convert Foot-pound per Second to Megawatt, multiply the value in ft_lb_s by the ratio of watts per ft_lb_s divided by watts per megaw. Equivalently: value_megaw = value_ft_lb_s × (1.3558179483314003 / 1000000). Numerically, 1 ft_lb_s equals 0.0000013558179483314003 megaw.
