Calorie is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water one degree Centigrade. It is therefore one thousand times as large as the small calorie. The British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the heat required to raise the temperature... Advanced Physiography - Page 132by John Thornton (M.A.) - 1890 - 342 pagesFull view - About this book
