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.

Kilojoules

A Kilojoule (kJ) is a unit of energy equal to 1,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure energy in various scientific and engineering contexts, as well as in nutrition to quantify the energy content of foods. One kilojoule is the amount of energy required to apply a force of one newton over a distance of one kilometer, or the energy transferred when one kilowatt of power is applied for one second. Kilojoules are used in fields such as physics, chemistry, and engineering to quantify work, heat, and energy, providing a standard measure for comparing energy content and transfer across different systems and processes.
