What are Erg and Btu

Definition of Erg

An erg is a unit of energy or work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system, equivalent to 10^-7 joules. It originated from the Greek word 'ergon,' meaning work. Scientists and engineers use it to describe energy in smaller scales. The erg has largely been replaced by the joule in most applications, but it remains significant in certain fields like astrophysics. Its use continues in academic settings where the CGS system is still taught. Understanding the erg is crucial for grasping the basics of energy measurement in scientific studies.

Definition of Btu

A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of heat energy in the Imperial system, representing the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Widely used in power, steam generation, and heating industries, the Btu provides a standard measure for energy content in fuels and power systems. Though largely replaced by the joule in scientific contexts, the Btu remains relevant in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Its widespread application highlights its importance in energy consumption and efficiency calculations.
