A gram of TNT releases 980-1100 calories upon explosion. To define the tonne of TNT, this was arbitrarily standardized to 1000 thermochemical calories = 1 gram TNT = 4184 J (exactly). To put this into perspective, a gram of food carbohydrate has approximately 4 kcal of energy, versus 1 kcal for a gram of TNT. This definition is a conventional one. Explosives' energy is normally calculated using the thermodynamic work energy of detonation, which for TNT has been accurately measured at 1120 calth/g from large numbers of air blast experiments and theoretically calculated to be 1160 calth/g. The measured pure heat output of a gram of TNT is only 651 thermochemical calories ≈ 2724 J, but this is not the important value for explosive blast effect calculations. One ton(metric) = 1000 kg = 1,000,000 grams (one million), so contains 1000 million calories.
4,184,000,000 J is the energy release of one metric ton (1000 kg) of TNT. 1 kg of TNT would release 1/1000 of that or 4,184,000 J. Since 1 pound is 0.45359237 (exactly) of a kilogram, the correct value for the energy released by 1 pound of TNT is (4.184 *10^6* 0.45359237), which is 1,897,830.47608 J (exactly).
TNT contains 4.6 megajoules per kilogram

I know
Nuclear weapons with plutonium don't contain TNT.
A Kiloton of TNT is not really a measure of weight but of explosive force. A kiloton of TNT would would weigh 1000 metric tons or about 2.2 Million pounds. But a kiloton of water, feathers, bricks.. would also weigh 2.2 Million pounds. A kiloton of TNT has the energy of 4.2 × 1012 joules or 4 Billion BTU's which would be enough energy to raise the temperature of 2 Million tons of Water 1 degree F.
The bomb did not have tnt. The atomic power is measurred using tnt was the base. TNT is a unit of energy equal to 4.184 gigajoules, which is approximately the amount of energy released in the detonation of one ton of TNT, and a bomb with one kiloton has the blast compared to one ton of tnt.

That would be about 61.6 lbs of 40% nitroglycerin equivalent dynamite. Dynamite has approximately 60% greater energy density than TNT.
The energy does a airplane engine produce is 10 kg of ht?
