How many BTUs will a 100 pound propane tank produce?
A 100 pound propane tank has a capacity of 2,160,509 BTUs
A natural gas thermal unit equals what equivalent amount of liquid propane gas?
First, what is a "natural gas thermal unit"? Are you talking about a therm? And what is liquid propane gas? How can it be a liquid and a gas? Are you talking about liquid propane, which is the fuel in your barbeque grill? That stuff is in liquid form because it's pressurized. When it comes out of the tank, it turns back into a gas, so one would imagine that your so-called "natural gas thermal unit" would apply. But let's assume you meant "therm." A therm is a unit of energy that is equal to 100 thousand BTUs (British Thermal Units). That is about the amount of heat energy liberated by 100 cubic feet (Ccf) of natural gas. But propane has an equivalent energy capacity of about 2500 BTUs per cubic foot, so that translates to 250,000 BTUs per Ccf -- two and half times greater than the rule of thumb I just stated!! -- which is 2.5 therms per Ccf. So, I guess the question would becomes "What amount of gaseous propane -- at standard temperature and pressure -- is equivalent to one gallon of liquid propane?" The way I figure it, one gallon of liquid propane will produce about 36.6 cubic feet of gas.1 So, a 20-pound tank (which holds 4.1 gallons of liquid propane gas) is equal to about 150 cubic feet (or 1.5 Ccf) of gaseous propane. ______________ 1. And the way I figured it is this: Propane can liberate about 2500 BTUs per cubic foot. We also know it can liberate 91,600 BTUs per liquid gallon. So I divided 91.6E3 by 2.5E3 to get 36.6 cu.ft./gal.
How many calories of energy are produced by one gallon of gas?
6.1030 x 10^6 calories (not food Calories) per liter - this is the mixture of LPG called 'propane' in the proportions used for combustion engines.
How many BTUs are required to change five pounds of ice at 20 degrees F to steam at 220 degress F?
The question cannot be answered because:the temperature scale being used has not been specified,There is no normal temperature scale in which you can have ice at 32 degrees and steam at 82 degrees without large changes in pressure. If changes in pressure are permitted then there is no simple formula to calculate the amount of heat (btus) required.
How many mcf of natural gas equals the btu of 1 barrel of crude oil?
A fourty two (42) gallon barrel of oil generates approximately 5,600,000 btus. A cubit foor of nat gas generates 1,200 btus ,there for you would need 4,666.67 cubic feet of gas or 4.6 mcf. Today, an mcf of nat gas costs $2.6 an mcf, a barrel of oil $106. The btu per dollar breakdown looks like this. 5,600,000 btus = 1 barrel of crude oil = $106 5.6m btu / $106 = 52,830 btus per dollar 5,600,000 btus = 4.66 mcf = $12.12 5.6m btus / $12.12 = 462,046 btus per dollar
How long on average does a 20 lb propane gas grill tank last?
1 gallon of Propane ~= 4.23 lbs ~= 91500 Btus 1 lbs of Propane ~=22000 Btus 20 lb tank of propane holds approx 4 gallons of propane (366000 BTUs) Your grill will last 366000 BTUs/ Grill BTU output hrs
How many BTUs will a 100 pound propane tank produce?
A 100 pound propane tank has a capacity of 2,160,509 BTUs
How many BTUs are in a gallon of propane?
Type your answer here... there are around 91,600 BTUs in a gallon of propane. The standard BBQ sized bottle of propane contains 11 pounds of propane. Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per gallon, so that 11 pounds of propane is about 2.5 gallons in its liquid state. That means there is 91,600 BTUs/Gal times 2.5 gallons so a BBQ sized tank of propane contains about 2.3 million BTUs. If your BBQ has a 50,000 BTU burner, on high heat, it will last a bit over 4 and half hours of run time.
How much propane is burned in a propane fireplace on average?
Too broad a question. Need BTUs of heater + how many hours running per day to answer.

How is natural gas better than LPG?
Without getting into the chemistry and physics of the two different types of gases, natural gas has a higher btu output than liquid propane gas. In other words, higher available energy output/more energy efficient. MMM wrong!!! Propane provides more energy per unit volume than does natural gas. Heat is measured in BTUs, or British Thermal Units. Propane provides about 2500 BTUs for the same volume of natural gas that only gives 1000 BTUs. However, natural gas can be less expensive at up to one-sixth the cost of propane

How many BTU in one cubic meter of CO gas?
There is no specific number of BTUs in one cubic meter of carbon monoxide (CO) gas. The amount of BTUs in a gas is determined by its composition and heating value, which can vary. However, carbon monoxide generally has a lower heating value compared to other gases like methane or propane.
How many BTUs required to raise the temperature of a room by 10 F?
It depends on the volume of the room.
How do you compute BTU of a heater using CFM and output temperature?
I'm not sure and will have to research this, but let me kick it off by writing Btus/hr = CFM X 1.08 X temperature rise. Hopefully, others will weigh in and contribute further to this answer. (Since I supervise Units and Unit Conversions, I would like to admonish people to use the units Btus/hr, not just Btus, when referring to power.)
What is propane vs kerosene cost per BTU?
1gal. Propane = 91600 BTUs 1gal. Kerosene = 135000 BTUs To heat 1,000,000 BTUs it would cost: 10.91 gals of Propane x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) 7.4 gals of kerosene x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Remember this is at 100% efficiency. If you are working with something less efficient you must multiply the fuel btu by the efficiency. For example: Propane Furnace that is 80% efficient. 1,000,000 / (91600 x .8) = 13.6 gals 13.6 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Kerosene furnace that is 60% efficient. 1,000,000 / (135,000 x .6) = 12.3 gals 12.3 gals x (price per gal) = Cost (to heat 1mil btu) Hope this helps good luck
