What are Btu and Erg

Definition of Btu

A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat that measures the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Widely used in the United States, it is crucial in heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration industries. The Btu helps quantify energy consumption, efficiency, and capacity. It facilitates understanding of how much energy appliances consume and how effectively they operate, thereby aiding in energy management and planning.

Definition of Erg

The erg is a unit of energy and work in the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units. It is defined as the amount of work done by a force of one dyne exerted for a distance of one centimeter. Although small in magnitude, the erg is significant in scientific calculations involving energy, especially in physics and chemistry. It helps in quantifying energy at microscopic levels, providing precision in experimental data analysis, and enhancing the understanding of molecular interactions and thermodynamic processes.
