What are Foot and Btu

Definition of Foot

The foot is a unit of length in the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is defined as exactly 0.3048 meters based on the international agreement in 1959. Historically, the foot was a part of numerous systems of measurement, including the Greek, Roman, Chinese, French, and English systems. The length of the foot varied from place to place and was often based on the length of a human foot. Today, the foot is primarily used in the United States for various applications such as building and real estate.

Definition of Btu

British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a traditional unit of heat. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The Btu is part of the British Imperial System of units and is widely used in power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. It serves as a measure of energy content in fuels and as a comparative measure of energy efficiency. Although largely replaced by the joule in most fields, the Btu remains relevant in certain regions and industries.
