Undergrad Is MW/hr a Valid Unit of Measurement for Power?
Thanks guys. I suppose that is why I have only seen it rarely as the ramp rate of a reactor isn't going to be something that is often disseminated to the public. Usually any article about a reactor or power plant would only refer to it's power generating capabilities (which would usually be...- HuntJ

Undergrad Is MW/hr a Valid Unit of Measurement for Power?
Thanks gordon. I suppose I should have asked if it was a useful unit but the rarity of it lead me to wonder if it was a proper standard/accepted unit or if it would be the equivalent of using "cubits/hr" as a measure of speed.- HuntJ

Undergrad Is MW/hr a Valid Unit of Measurement for Power?
I know MW-hr is a valid unit. I talked about it in the original post (as MWh). MWh or MW-hr though refers to MW x hr. I was talking about the usage of MW / hr or MW per hour. I've seen it used on occasion but very rarely and often it seems incorrectly. I figured that there must be a correct...- HuntJ

Undergrad Is MW/hr a Valid Unit of Measurement for Power?
Hello all, I'm new to the forums and this seemed like the perfect place to discuss an issue that has been bugging me. I know MW refers to power (the rate of energy production basically in millions of Joules per second) and MWh refers to energy (essentially the total amount (in millions of...- HuntJ
