Btu (It)
The Btu (IT) is a unit of energy used to measure the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on the International Table (IT) standards.
History/Origin
The Btu (IT) originated from the British thermal unit, adapted for international standards to provide a consistent measurement of heat energy, particularly in engineering and thermodynamics contexts.
Current Use
The Btu (IT) is primarily used in the energy industry, including heating, cooling, and power generation, to quantify energy content and efficiency in systems adhering to international standards.
Newton Meter
A newton meter (N·m) is a unit of torque or energy, representing the amount of force applied over a distance.
History/Origin
The newton meter was established as a standard unit of torque and energy in the International System of Units (SI) to provide a consistent measurement for mechanical work and rotational force.
Current Use
It is commonly used in engineering and physics to quantify torque in mechanical systems and to measure energy in contexts such as physics calculations and energy conversions.
