What are Joule and Btu

Definition of Joule

A Joule is a unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It measures the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter in the direction of the force. Alternatively, it represents the energy transferred when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. This fundamental unit allows scientists and engineers to quantify energy in various fields, from physics to chemistry, providing a standardized measurement for energy-related calculations.

Definition of Btu

A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of heat energy in the imperial system. It represents the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Widely used in heating and air conditioning industries, the Btu plays a crucial role in measuring energy output and efficiency. Engineers and scientists apply the Btu in calculating the heat produced by heating systems, engines, and various industrial processes, offering a practical metric for understanding energy transfer and consumption.
