Converting from Quad (quad) to Tonne of TNT (tTNT)

What is Quad (quad)

A Quad (or quadrillion BTUs) is a unit of energy that represents 1015 British Thermal Units (BTUs). It's often used in the context of large-scale energy production and consumption, especially in the energy sector to quantify energy resources. The Quad provides a useful way to measure energy on a massive scale, making it easier to understand and compare different energy sources.

What is Tonne of TNT (tTNT)

The Tonne of TNT is another unit of energy, often used to express the amount of energy released during a specific explosive event. One tonne of TNT is equivalent to approximately 4.184∗106 joules. This unit can also be used to provide a familiar frame of reference when discussing various energy release phenomena, including the energy output from chemical reactions or explosive reactions.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Quads to Tonnes of TNT and vice versa, you can use the following formulas:

• To convert from Quad (quad) to Tonne of TNT (tTNT):

  Energy in tTNT=Energy in quad×228759700

• To convert from Tonne of TNT (tTNT) to Quad (quad):

  Energy in quad=Energy in tTNT×0.000000004371399

Examples

1. Converting 1 quad to tTNT:

   Energy in tTNT=1quad×228759700=228759700tTNT

2. Converting 11 quads to tTNT:

   Energy in tTNT=11quad×228759700=2516357000tTNT

3. Converting 7 quads to tTNT:

   Energy in tTNT=7quad×228759700=1601318000tTNT

4. Converting 1 tTNT to quad:

   Energy in quad=1tTNT×0.000000004371399=4.371399∗10−9quad

5. Converting 8 tTNT to quad:

   Energy in quad=8tTNT×0.000000004371399=0.00000003497119quad

6. Converting 11 tTNT to quad:

   Energy in quad=11tTNT×0.00000004808539=0.00000004808539quad
