British Thermal Unit (BTU)
The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of heat energy used in the United States and some other countries. One BTU is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. This unit is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems to measure the heating and cooling capacity of equipment. It is also used in the context of power generation and fuel energy content, such as in natural gas, propane, and coal. The BTU is essential for understanding and managing energy transfer, consumption, and efficiency in various applications.
Joules
The Joule (J) is the SI unit of energy. One joule is defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton is applied over a distance of one meter. It can also be defined as the energy transferred when one watt of power is applied for one second. The joule is a versatile unit used in various scientific and engineering contexts to measure energy, work, and heat. It is commonly used in physics, chemistry, and engineering to quantify the energy content of fuels, the work done by machines, and the energy used or produced in electrical circuits.
