What are Calorie and Btu

Definition of Calorie

A Calorie is a unit of energy, traditionally defined as the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. In its nutritional context, it often refers to kilocalories, which is the measure used in food energy. The Calorie is a part of the metric system and has been in use since the late 19th century. It plays a crucial role in physics and chemistry for thermodynamic calculations and is still widely used in nutrition to quantify energy intake or expenditure.

Definition of Btu

BTU, or British Thermal Unit, is a unit of heat energy defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Originating in the United Kingdom, the BTU is commonly used in the power and heating industries in the United States. It provides a way to quantify energy output or consumption in heating, cooling, and even in the context of energy production. The BTU remains a standard measurement in many engineering applications, especially when specifying the power of heating and cooling systems.
