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.


Attojoule

An attojoule (aJ) is a unit of energy equal to 10^-18 joules.

History/Origin

The attojoule was introduced as part of the SI prefixes to measure extremely small amounts of energy, particularly in fields like nanotechnology and quantum physics, as the need to quantify very tiny energy scales grew.

Current Use

The attojoule is used in scientific research to measure minute energy quantities, such as in nanotechnology, quantum computing, and molecular biology, where energies involved are extremely small.
