Convert british thermal unit (thermochemical) to j
British Thermal Unit (Thermochemical)
The British thermal unit (thermochemical), abbreviated Btu (th), is a unit of energy equal to 1,054.35 joules, defined within the thermochemical calorie system. It is used primarily in thermochemistry and related scientific disciplines to maintain consistency with the thermochemical calorie (calth = 4.184 J exactly). It is slightly smaller than the IT BTU by approximately 0.07%.
Joule
The joule (/dʒaʊ,dʒuːljawl, jool; symbol: J) is a derived unit of energy in the International System of Units. It is equal to the energy transferred to (or work done on) an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre (1 newton metre or N⋅m). It is also the energy dissipated as heat when an electric current of one ampere passes through a resistance of one ohm for one second. It is named after the English physicist James Prescott Joule (1818–1889).
