MW stands for megawatts. "mw" (in lower case) stands for milliwatts, however.
CommentThe SI convention is that is a unit of measurement is named after someone, then its symbol is always capitalised. So, the symbol for watt is an upper-case 'W'. So, the correct symbol for milliwatt is mW and the correct symbol for megawatt is MW.

The amount of carbon emissions generated from 1 MW of thermal power generation can vary depending on the source of fuel used. However, as a rough estimate, 1 MW of thermal power generation can produce around 800-1000 tons of CO2 per year when using coal as the fuel source.
Sir William Ramsay and MW Travers discovered the element neon in 1898. Neon is a noble gas that is known for its bright, colorful glow when used in signs and lighting.
NaCl passed through the 50 MWCO membrane while urea did not because NaCl is a smaller molecule compared to urea. The 50 MWCO membrane is designed to allow smaller molecules like NaCl to pass through while blocking larger molecules like urea. This is based on the principle of size exclusion, where molecules are separated based on their size.
The rating system that estimates the total energy released by an earthquake is called the moment magnitude scale (Mw).
As of 2021, there are over 24 countries with geothermal power plants, totaling more than 13,000 MW of installed capacity worldwide. The largest producers of geothermal energy include the United States, the Philippines, Indonesia, Turkey, and New Zealand.
