What are Btu and Pferdestarke

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 at a constant atmospheric pressure. Commonly used in the energy sector, Btu measures the energy content in fuels and heating systems. It plays a crucial role in evaluating energy efficiency, comparing fuel sources, and designing heating and cooling systems. Despite its traditional roots, the Btu remains relevant in modern applications, providing a bridge between Imperial and metric units of energy.

Definition of Pferdestarke

Pferdestärke (ps), a German term meaning 'horse strength', is a unit of power. It was widely used in Europe to measure the power output of engines before the adoption of the metric horsepower (hp). One Pferdestärke is equivalent to 735.5 watts. The use of ps provided a standardized way to express engine power and was commonly seen in automotive specifications. Despite being largely replaced by metric units, ps still appears in some contexts and offers a historical perspective on the evolution of power measurement.
