Yield of the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever tested (50 megatons) [190] [191] 2.552×10 17 J Total energy of the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai eruption [192] [193] 4.2×10 17 J: Yearly electricity consumption of Norway as of 2008 [181] [194] 4.516×10 17 J: Energy needed to accelerate one ton of mass to 0.1c (~30,000 km/s ...
Energy Description Megatons of TNT Watt-hours [Wh] 1 × 10 −12: 1.162 Wh ≈ 1 food calorie (large calorie, kcal), which is the approximate amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius at a pressure of one atmosphere. 1 × 10 −9: 1.162 kWh
Log–log plot comparing the yield (in kilotonnes) and mass (in kilograms) of various nuclear weapons developed by the United States.. The explosive yield of a nuclear weapon is the amount of energy released such as blast, thermal, and nuclear radiation, when that particular nuclear weapon is detonated, usually expressed as a TNT equivalent (the standardized equivalent mass of trinitrotoluene ...
Energy (from Ancient Greek ... (~ 9 × 10 16 joules, equivalent to 21 megatons of TNT), as can be seen in nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. ...
The tonne of trinitrotoluene (TNT) is used as a proxy for energy, usually of explosions (TNT is a common high explosive). Prefixes are used: kiloton(ne), megaton(ne), gigaton(ne), especially for expressing nuclear weapon yield , based on a specific combustion energy of TNT of about 4.2 MJ / kg (or one thermochemical calorie per milligram ).
The thermal energy released during the eruption was equal to 26 megatons of TNT. [ 7 ] About 57 people were killed, including innkeeper and World War I veteran Harry R. Truman , photographers Reid Blackburn and Robert Landsburg , and volcanologist David A. Johnston . [ 8 ]
Only five produced. (5 Megatons) Mark 15 – First "lightweight" thermonuclear weapon. (1.7–3.8 Megatons, 1955–1965) TX/Mark 16 – First weaponized thermonuclear weapon (Ivy Mike device). Only cryogenic weapon ever deployed. Only five produced. (6–8 Megatons) Mark 17 – High-yield thermonuclear. Heaviest U.S. weapon, second highest ...
