What are Joule and Btu

Definition of Joule

The Joule, named after the physicist James Prescott Joule, is the SI unit of energy, work, or amount of heat. It quantifies the energy transferred or work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter in the direction of the force applied. It's also equivalent to the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. Widely used in various scientific and engineering disciplines, the Joule provides a standard measure for energy-related calculations, enabling consistency and precision across different applications.

Definition of Btu

The British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat, part of the British Imperial system of units. It represents the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Commonly used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries, the Btu is integral for quantifying heat output and energy content. Though replaced by the Joule in most scientific contexts, the Btu remains prevalent in North American energy sectors, offering a familiar measure for energy production and thermal efficiency.
