How many BTUs are required to produce a kilowatt of electricity?

Besides the fact joules are a measure of energy for most of the world and no longer BTUs, the question can't be answered because it makes no sense.
1 joule of energy can create 1 kilowatt for 1/1000 of a second, while 1000 joules can produce 1 kilowatt for 1 second. Joules (BTUs) are a measure of an amount of energy while watts are a measure of RATE of energy flow.

∙ 11y ago1 kW is equal to 3412.3 BTU/hour.
This is using the values of 1.055 kJ per BTU and 3600 kJ/kWh.
Other sources confusingly list the exact conversion of 1 kWh as
3412.14163 BTU
3412.1416416 BTU
3412.1414799 BTU
(One source uses both 3412 and 3413 in linked pages.)

∙ 9y agoThere are 3412.14 btu per kilowatt of electricity. That isn't much to converting it, if a local table is used.

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 watts equals 1 BTU?
To convert a watt to BTUs, the factor is 1 kilowatt of power = 3412.1416 BTU/hr3.412 BTUs equal a watt.AnswerYour question is meaningless, as these two units measure different quantities. The watt is the SI unit of measurement of power, whereas the BtU is the Imperial unit of energy. So watts cannot be equated to BtUs.
What is the equation for converting btus to kilowatt-hour?
BTUs and kilowatts measure different types of quantities. A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures heat (energy), while a kilowatt (1000 watts) measures power (energy per unit time). 1 BTU equals 0.0002928 kilowatt-hour 1 BTU/minute equals 0.01757 kilowatt. To convert a watt to BTUs, the factor is 1 kilowatt of power = 3412.1416 BTU/hr 3.412 BTUs equal a watt-hour. 1 kW = 3412.1416 BTU/hour with appropriate significant figures 3*103 BUT per hour
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 many watts in 12000 BTU?
To convert a watt to BTUs, the factor is 1 kilowatt of power = 3412.1416 BTU/hr 3.412 BTUs equal a watt. 1200 watt = 4094.4 BTUS you will need to remove about 4100 BTU/hr

Btu per kw?
The BTU is an Imperial unit of measurement for energy. The watt is the SI unit for power. The BTU and watt measures different quantities, so there are no 'BTUs per kilowatt'!
How many BTUs required to raise the temperature of a room by 10 F?
It depends on the volume of the room.
How many BTUs does low volatile bituminous coal produce?
Low- and medium-volatility grade bituminous coal typically generates between 26 and 30 million BTUs per ton.
How many Kilowatt Hours are in 1 million BTUs?
1 kWH = 3.6 megajoules of energy and 1 BTU = approximately 1055 joules.1 kWH = 3412.3 BTUSo a million BTUs would be 3.4123 billion BTUs (3.4 x 109 BTU)However, this is not an exact conversion because kWH is energy exerted over time, while BTU is energy content.(see the related question)
