There
are several definitions of the Btu, and the values of applicable
and/or equivalent factors
may vary slightly depending on the definition used. For this reason,
three or four significant figures
are given on this page, and in most cases provide a value near
to most definitions of the Btu.
However, as always in making calculations of high accuracy, one
should reference the appropriate
lists and handbooks of standards. |
