Ton (Explosives)
A ton (explosives) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the explosive power equivalent to one ton of TNT, typically used in military and demolition contexts.
History/Origin
The ton (explosives) originated as a standardized measure to compare explosive yields, with its use becoming prominent during the 20th century for military and industrial applications, aligning with the adoption of the ton as a unit of mass and energy.
Current Use
Today, the ton (explosives) is primarily used in military, demolition, and mining industries to estimate explosive quantities and effects, often expressed in terms of equivalent TNT mass for safety and planning purposes.
Megawatt-Hour
A megawatt-hour (MW·h) is a unit of energy equal to one megawatt of power sustained for one hour.
History/Origin
The megawatt-hour has been used since the development of large-scale electrical power systems to quantify energy production and consumption, especially in power generation and grid management, becoming standard in the 20th century.
Current Use
It is commonly used today to measure electricity generation, consumption, and capacity in power plants, utilities, and energy markets worldwide.
