What are CHU and Joule

Definition of CHU

The Centigrade Heat Unit (CHU) is a measure of energy, specifically the amount required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Celsius. It serves as an important unit in thermodynamics and engineering, especially in regions using Imperial units. The CHU helps bridge the gap between traditional British thermal units (BTU) and the more universally accepted metric units, like the Joule. Its usage, while less common today, still appears in certain specialized fields and historical contexts, making it a relevant unit for specific scientific and engineering calculations.

Definition of Joule

A Joule is a fundamental unit of energy in the International System of Units (SI). It quantifies the amount of work done when a force of one newton displaces an object by one meter in the direction of the force. Named after physicist James Prescott Joule, this unit is widely used in various scientific and engineering disciplines. It provides a consistent measure for energy transformations, heat transfer, and electrical power. As a versatile and universally recognized unit, the Joule plays a crucial role in research, development, and technology across the globe.
