Mega Btu (It)
A mega Btu (MBtu) is a unit of energy equal to one million British thermal units, used primarily in the energy industry to measure large quantities of heat energy.
History/Origin
The mega Btu originated from the British thermal unit (Btu), a traditional unit of heat energy. It became standardized in the energy sector to quantify large-scale energy quantities, especially in the oil, gas, and power industries, to facilitate easier measurement and comparison.
Current Use
Today, the MBtu is used mainly in the energy sector for billing, reporting, and analyzing large energy consumption or production, particularly in contexts such as natural gas, heating, and power generation.
Poundal Foot
The poundal foot (pdl*ft) is a unit of energy representing the work done when a force of one poundal acts over a distance of one foot.
History/Origin
The poundal foot originated in the foot-poundal system of units, which was used primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries in engineering and physics before the widespread adoption of the SI system.
Current Use
The poundal foot is rarely used today and has been largely replaced by the joule in scientific and engineering contexts. It may still appear in historical references or specialized fields dealing with imperial units.
