Convert megawatt to centijoule/second
Please provide values below to convert megawatt [MW] to centijoule/second [cJ/s], or Convert centijoule/second to megawatt.
How to Convert Megawatt to Centijoule/second
1 MW = 100000000 cJ/s
Example: convert 15 MW to cJ/s:
15 MW = 15 × 100000000 cJ/s = 1500000000 cJ/s

Megawatt
A megawatt (MW) is a unit of power equal to one million watts, used to measure the output of power plants and the capacity of electrical systems.
History/Origin
The megawatt was introduced as part of the metric system to quantify large-scale power, becoming widely adopted in the 20th century with the expansion of electrical power generation and distribution.
Current Use
Megawatts are commonly used today to specify the capacity of power plants, electrical grids, and large-scale energy projects, facilitating standardized measurement of high power levels in various industries.
Centijoule/second
A centijoule per second (cJ/s) is a unit of power representing the rate at which energy is transferred or converted, equivalent to 0.01 joules per second.
History/Origin
The centijoule per second is derived from the SI unit joule, with the prefix centi indicating a hundredth, and is used in contexts requiring smaller power measurements. It has been in use as a supplementary unit in scientific and engineering fields where precise, small-scale power measurements are needed.
Current Use
The cJ/s is used in scientific research, engineering, and technical applications involving small power quantities, such as in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS), low-power electronics, and detailed energy transfer analyses within the 'Power' converter category.
