MW stands for megawatts. "mw" (in lower case) stands for milliwatts, however.

Comment

The 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.

How much carbon emission will 1 MW of Thermal Power generation cause?

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.

Why did Nacl pass through the 50 MWCO and not urea?

Because Na has MW of ~23 and Cl has MW of ~35...both of which are small enough to pass through a molecular weight cut off (MWCO) of 50 (don't add there molecular weights together). urea has ~ MW of 60 so it's too big to cross membrane.
