Btu (th), or thermochemical British thermal unit, is the heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit, based on the thermochemical calorie standard.

What is a millijoule?

A millijoule is an SI unit of energy equal to one thousandth of a joule, used to measure very small amounts of energy in scientific and engineering contexts.

Why convert from Btu (th) to millijoule?

This conversion helps translate common heating and fuel energy values into smaller, precise units necessary for scientific analysis and fine instrumentation.
