  2. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    The thermochemical calorie is exactly 4.184 J by definition of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). [4] The thermochemical Btu is calculated by converting from grams to pounds and from Celsius to Fahrenheit. [5] 59 °F (15.0 °C) ≈1,054.80 [6] Used for American natural gas pricing. [3] 60 °F (15.6 °C) ≈1,054.68 [7]

  3. Ton of refrigeration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ton_of_refrigeration

    12,000.00 Btu IT /h 2,593.90 ft⋅lbf/s A ton of refrigeration ( TR or TOR ), also called a refrigeration ton ( RT ), is a unit of power used in some countries (especially in North America) to describe the heat-extraction capacity of refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.

  4. Specific heat capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_heat_capacity

    The BTU was originally defined so that the average specific heat capacity of water would be 1 BTU/lb⋅°F. [19] Note the value's similarity to that of the calorie - 4187 J/kg⋅°C ≈ 4184 J/kg⋅°C (~.07%) - as they are essentially measuring the same energy, using water as a basis reference, scaled to their systems' respective lbs and °F ...

  6. Energy content of biofuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_content_of_biofuel

    The energy content of biofuel is the chemical energy contained in a given biofuel, measured per unit mass of that fuel, as specific energy, or per unit of volume of the fuel, as energy density.

  7. Corylus cornuta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corylus_cornuta

    The beaked hazelnut is named for its fruit, which is a nut enclosed in a husk with a tubular extension 2–4 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long that resembles a beak. Tiny filaments protrude from the husk and may stick into, and irritate, skin that contacts them. The spherical nuts are small and surrounded by a hard shell.

  8. Gasoline gallon equivalent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

    The energy content of ethanol is 76,100 BTU/US gal (5.89 kilowatt-hours per litre), compared to 114,100 BTU/US gal (8.83 kWh/L) for gasoline. (see chart above) A flex-fuel vehicle will experience about 76% of the fuel mileage MPG when using E85 (85% ethanol) products as compared to 100% gasoline.

  9. Corylus avellana - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corylus_avellana

    Corylus avellana, the common hazel, is a species of flowering plant in the birch family Betulaceae.The shrubs usually grow 3–8 metres (10–26 feet) tall. The nut is round, in contrast to the longer filbert nut.
