* 2007, James Shipman, Jerry Wilson, Aaron Todd, _An Introduction to Physical Science: Twelfth Edition_, pages 106–108:
HEAT and temperature, although different, are intimately related. [...] For example, suppose you added equal amounts of HEAT to equal masses of iron and aluminum. How do you think their temperatures would change? […] if the temperature of the iron increased by 100 C°, the corresponding temperature change in the aluminum would be only 48 C°.
This furnace puts out 5000 BTUs of HEAT.
