BTUs per Hour
A British thermal unit is the amount of energy required to heat a pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. This can vary slightly depending on the temperature of the water, therefore different estimates for the BTU exist. A BTU/hour is about 0.293 watts.
Megawatts
A megawatt is 1 million watts. Modern locomotives typically have a peak power output of 5 or 6 megawatts.
