Title: Identify the British thermal unit (BTU) and types of heat.
Course: Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration I (17056-I) > Section: Understanding the Theory of Heat

Identification should include

- HVACR applications of BTUs, or the standard measuring unit of energy (i.e., equal to the amount of energy needed to heat or cool one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit)
- the difference between latent and sensible heat
- heat transfer concepts.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is a BTU? Why is it important to HVACR?
- What are the differences between latent and sensible heat?
- What is enthalpy, and how might the enthalpy of water be graphed?
