What are Btu and Kilocalorie

Definition of Btu

Btu, or British Thermal Unit, is a traditional unit of heat. It measures the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. Originating in the United Kingdom, Btu plays a significant role in power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. Despite the growing use of the metric system, Btu remains relevant, particularly in North America. Understanding Btu is crucial for engineers and industry professionals involved in heat-related calculations and energy efficiency assessments.

Definition of Kilocalorie

A kilocalorie, often referred to simply as a calorie in dietary contexts, is a unit of energy equivalent to 1,000 calories. It quantifies the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. In scientific terms, kilocalories are used to express the energy content of food and the energy expenditure of physical activities. This unit is fundamental in nutrition science, helping to understand energy balance, dietary needs, and the metabolic processes of living organisms.

Conversion of Btu to Kilocalorie

1 Btu/h = 0.000293 kcal/s
1 kcal/s = 3412.14 Btu/h

Example 1:
convert 500 Btu/h to kcal/s:
500 Btu/h = 500 × 0.000293 kcal/s = 0.1465 kcal/s

Example 2:
convert 2000 Btu/h to kcal/s:
2000 Btu/h = 2000 × 0.000293 kcal/s = 0.586 kcal/s
