What are Btu and Kilojoule

Definition of Btu

A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of energy used in the power, steam generation, and heating industries. It represents the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The International Table (IT) Btu, a specific version of Btu, is based on the IT calorie. While not a metric unit, it remains significant in the United States and parts of the UK, especially in contexts like air conditioning and heating. Understanding Btu is crucial for energy management and efficiency calculations.

Definition of Kilojoule

A kilojoule (kJ) is a metric unit of energy that equals 1,000 joules. It is commonly used to measure the energy content in food and the amount of energy expended during physical activities. In scientific contexts, kilojoules quantify work, heat, and electricity. The kilojoule is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used across the globe. Its versatility in various fields, from nutrition to engineering, makes it an essential unit for understanding and managing energy consumption.
