Convert British Thermal Unit (th) to Joule
British Thermal Unit (th)
The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is a unit of energy used in the power, steam generation, heating, and air conditioning industries. It is defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is derived from the joule, which is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist. The BTU measures the amount of energy used in heating and cooling systems.
Joule
The joule (J) is the SI unit of energy, work, and heat, defined as the amount of energy transferred when a force of one newton acts over a distance of one meter. It is mathematically expressed as 1 J = 1 N·m = 1 kg·m²/s², where N is newton, kg is kilogram, m is meter, and s is second. The joule is commonly used to measure energy in various forms, including mechanical, electrical, and thermal energy.
The joule is named after James Prescott Joule, an English physicist who is best known for his work on the relationship between heat and mechanical work. His experiments in the 19th century demonstrated that mechanical energy could be converted into heat, contributing to the formulation of the law of conservation of energy. His work laid the foundation for modern thermodynamics, highlighting that energy is conserved and can be transformed but not created or destroyed.
