Microjoule
A microjoule (µJ) is a unit of energy equal to one millionth of a joule, used to measure small amounts of energy.
History/Origin
The microjoule was introduced as part of the metric system to facilitate the measurement of very small energy quantities, especially in scientific and engineering contexts, with the adoption of the International System of Units (SI).
Current Use
Microjoules are commonly used in fields such as electronics, physics, and biology to quantify small energy transfers, signals, or reactions, often in research and technical 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.
