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.
Watt-hour
A Watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy that measures the amount of electrical energy consumed or generated over time. One Watt-hour is equivalent to one watt of power used or produced for one hour. This unit is commonly used to quantify energy usage in households, industries, and various devices. For instance, a 100-watt light bulb running for 10 hours consumes 1000 watt-hours, or 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh). Watt-hours are essential for understanding energy consumption, billing in electric utilities, and managing energy efficiency.
