Question

A engineer measures the peak power output is 0.3227MW what is the peak power output in kilowatts ?

Answer 1

Answer:

322.7 kW

Explanation:

• Power refers to the rate at which work is done.
• Therefore; Power = Work done ÷ time
• It is measured in joules per seconds or Watts

In this case, we are required to convert 0.3227 MW to kilowatts

We need to know that;

• 10^6 watts = 1 Megawatts(MW)
• 10^3 Watts = 1 kilowatts (kW)

Therefore;

10^3 kW = 1 MW

Therefore, the suitable conversion factor is 10^3kW/MW

Hence;

0.3227 MW is equivalent to;

   = 0.3227 MW × 10^3kW/MW

   = 322.7 kW

Thus, the peak power output is 322.7 kW
