What are Btu and Kilogram-force

A British Thermal Unit (Btu) is a unit of energy used primarily in the United States to describe the energy content of fuels and the power of heating and cooling systems. Specifically, one Btu is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The Btu is a part of the British Imperial system and is often utilized in various thermal and heat-related calculations. Engineers and scientists frequently employ this unit when working with systems that involve energy transfer and heat.

Kilogram-force is a non-SI unit of force defined as the force exerted by one kilogram of mass in a 9.80665 m/s² gravitational field, which is approximately the standard gravity on Earth's surface. It is primarily used in countries that have not fully adopted the metric system and is also known as a kilopond (kp). The kilogram-force is particularly notable in the field of engineering, where it can simplify calculations by providing a direct measure of force based on mass. Despite its usefulness, most scientific applications prefer the newton, which is the SI unit of force.
