What are Calorie and Btu

Definition of Calorie

A Calorie is a unit of measurement for energy. Specifically, it refers to the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius. In the context of nutrition and energy conversion, the term is often used to describe the amount of energy that food provides to the body. Calories are crucial for understanding dietary energy and managing energy consumption in various applications, including food production and thermal energy calculations. This fundamental unit helps individuals and industries quantify energy use and optimize processes involving heat transfer.

Definition of Btu

A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of measurement for thermal energy. It is traditionally defined as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. BTUs are commonly used in the United States to measure energy output, particularly in heating and air conditioning systems. This unit plays a crucial role in fields such as engineering, construction, and energy production, providing a standardized way to quantify thermal energy. Understanding BTUs is essential for designing, evaluating, and optimizing systems that involve heat transfer and energy efficiency.

Conversion of Calorie to Btu

1 cal(th)/h = 0.00396567 Btu(th)/h
1 Btu(th)/h = 252.164 cal(th)/h

Example 1:
convert 250 cal(th)/h to Btu(th)/h:
250 cal(th)/h = 250 × 0.00396567 Btu(th)/h = 0.9914175 Btu(th)/h

Example 2:
convert 1000 cal(th)/h to Btu(th)/h:
1000 cal(th)/h = 1000 × 0.00396567 Btu(th)/h = 3.96567 Btu(th)/h

History of Calorie and Btu
