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.
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.
