A kilocalorie (kcal) is a unit of energy commonly used to measure the calorific, or energy value of food. One kilocalorie is equivalent to 1,000 small calories, often referred to as calories with a lowercase 'c'. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. Kilocalories are an important measure in nutrition and dietetics, providing a quantifiable measure of the energy in consumed food and the energy expended by the body.
Definition of Megawatt-hourA Megawatt-hour (MWh) is a unit of energy that represents one million watts of power expended for one hour of time. It is commonly used by electric utility companies for measuring the amount of electricity that is generated or consumed. A Megawatt-hour is equivalent to 1,000 Kilowatt-hours (kWh), and it provides a standardized measure for billing and assessing the energy production capabilities of power plants, as well as the consumption of large industrial consumers.
| Kilocalorie (kcal) | Megawatt-hour (MWh) |
|---|---|
| 1 kcal | 0.000001163 MWh |
| 10 kcal | 0.00001163 MWh |
| 100 kcal | 0.0001163 MWh |
| 500 kcal | 0.0005815 MWh |
| 1,000 kcal | 0.001163 MWh |
| 5,000 kcal | 0.005815 MWh |
| 10,000 kcal | 0.01163 MWh |
| 50,000 kcal | 0.05815 MWh |
| 100,000 kcal | 0.1163 MWh |
| 1,000,000 kcal | 1.163 MWh |
1 kcal = 0.000001163 MWh
1 MWh = 860,420.65 kcal
Example 1:
Convert 500 kcal to MWh:
500 kcal = 500 × 0.000001163 MWh = 0.0005815 MWh
Example 2:
Convert 2,000 kcal to MWh:
2,000 kcal = 2,000 × 0.000001163 MWh = 0.002326 MWh
