Dyne Centimeter
A dyne centimeter (dyn·cm) is a unit of energy or work equal to the work done when a force of one dyne acts over a distance of one centimeter.
History/Origin
The dyne centimeter originated from the centimeter-gram-second (CGS) system of units, commonly used in physics before the adoption of the SI system, to measure small amounts of energy or work.
Current Use
Today, the dyne centimeter is primarily used in theoretical physics and specialized fields dealing with CGS units, but it is largely replaced by the joule in most practical applications.
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.
