heat measurement
Gauging thermal energy
Heat measurement is the quantification of thermal energy, typically expressed in units like calories, joules, or BTUs.
The field encompasses measuring temperature (how hot something is) and heat capacity (how much energy is needed to change temperature).
Instruments range from simple thermometers to sophisticated calorimeters: The heat measurement showed the reaction was exothermic.
