What are Horsepower and Btu

Horsepower is a unit of measurement that quantifies power, or the rate at which work is done. Originating from the 18th century to compare steam engines' output with that of draft horses, it is predominantly used to measure the power output of engines and motors. One horsepower equates to 746 watts in the metric system. The concept of horsepower allows engineers and consumers alike to understand engine performance and efficiency, making it a crucial aspect of industries ranging from automotive to manufacturing.

British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of heat energy used primarily in the United States. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Btu is commonly used in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as in power plants and other industrial applications. It provides a practical measure of energy production and consumption, helping to quantify efficiency and compare different energy sources effectively.
