How many BTU per Hour equals 1 Ton of Air Conditioning?
Air conditioners are rated in three ways, by B.T.U.'s, tons of refrigeration, or by horsepower. One ton of refrigeration removes the amount of heat needed to melt one ton of ice in 24 hours. One ton of refrigeration can remove 12,000 B.T.U.'s of heat in one hour. The B.T.U. is the amount of heat nee…ded to raise 1 lb. of pure water 1 deg F. (MORE)
How many btus per gallon of kerosene?
1 gallon for #1 Kerosene produces 135,000 BTUs. #1 Kerosene is closely related to #1 Diesel and JP8 (Jet Fuel) - they differ chiefly in additives. Likewise, #2 Kerosene, Diesel #2, and Furnace Oil are similar to one another. #2 oils have higher sulfur content, which leads to more eye and lung …irritation from the emissions. However, they are also comprised of longer hydrocarbon chains, and therefore weigh more per gallon and also have somewhat higher energy content. (MORE)

BTUS to tons?
12,000 BTU/h is referred to as a ton in most North American air conditioning applications. A BTU, short for British Thermal Unit, is a basic measure of thermal (heat) energy. One BTU is the amount of energy needed to heat one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit, measured at its heaviest point. In o…ther words, if you placed 16 ounces of water at 59°F into a stovetop pan and turned on the gas burner, it would take one BTU to raise the temperature of the water to 60°F. As more BTU's continue to flow from the gas flame, the water will eventually reach the boiling point of 212°F. A BTU is also the equivalent of 252 heat calories, not to be confused with the kilo-calories of food, and of approximately a third of a watt of electrical power. When speaking of cooling power, the BTU also works in reverse. The air-cooling power of an air conditioning system refers to the amount of thermal energy removed from an area. Hence a 65,000 BTU heater and a 65,000 BTU air conditioner are of roughly the same capacity and size. The higher the BTU output, the more powerful the heating or cooling system. Strangely enough, the British Thermal Unit is rarely used in Great Britain anymore, where it is considered a non-metric measurement. Even in countries which use the BTU as a standard measurement, there is some disagreement over the formula used to derive it. The thermal energy needed to raise water one degree Fahrenheit can depend on the original temperature and the method used for heating. Therefore, it is possible to get several different definitions of a BTU from different sources. This rarely has a palpable effect on consumer product information, however. Most heating and cooling systems produce thousands of BTU's, almost rendering the measurement of one BTU pointless. One is more likely to encounter smaller BTU figures during scientific experiments, where the slightest change in thermal energy may need to be calculated in terms of calories. When dealing with central air conditioning units and commercial pizza ovens, however, the BTU numbers can easily reach the hundreds of thousands. A unit of measure called the MMBTU is the equivalent of a million BTU's. Few man-made objects can generate this level of thermal energy, however. When shopping for heating or cooling systems, keep in mind that even the smallest window-mounted air conditioner or space heater can produce thousands of BTU's. The BTU numbers should primarily be used as a comparison between systems. Larger and more expensive systems should provide significantly higher BTU's than smaller ones. When deciding between similarly priced units, compare the BTU's for a better gauge of performance. Conversions One BTU is approximately: 1054-1060 joules 252-253 cal (calories, small) 0.252-0.253 kcal (kilocalories) 778-782 ft·lbf (foot-pounds-force) Other conversions: 013fIn natural gas, by convention 1 MM Btu (1 million Btu, sometimes written "mm BTU") = 1.054615 GJ. Conversely, 1 gigajoule is equivalent to 26.8 m3 of natural gas at defined temperature and pressure. Associated units The BTU per hour (BTU/h) is the unit of power most commonly associated with the BTU. 1 watt is approximately 3.4 BTU/h [1] 1000 BTU/h is approximately 293 W 1 horsepower is approximately 2540 BTU/h 12,000 BTU/h is referred to as a ton in most North American air conditioning applications. A unit called the quad (short for quadrillion) is defined as 1015 BTU, which is about 1.055Ã1018 joules, and the therm is defined in the country-region United States and European Union as 100,000 BTU -but the place country-region U.S. uses the BTU59 °F whilst the EU uses the BTUIT. The BTU should not be confused with the Board of Trade Unit (B.O.T.U.), which is a much larger quantity of energy. (MORE)
How many kilowatthours are produced by 1 ton bituminous coal?
Coal has an energy value of 24 Megajoules/kg, which is the same as 6.67 kwh/kg. However a coal fired power plant will only have an efficiency of about 30 per cent so this reduces to 2.0 kwh/kg. Now when you say 1 ton, do you mean 2240 lb, 2000 lb, or 1000 kg (metric ton) ? I will assume 1000kg as… it makes the arithmetic easier, in fact 2.0 kwh/kg comes to 2000 kwh/metric ton. Note that kilowatt is a power, kilowatthour (kwh) is an amount of energy, which is what you wanted. If you want it for a short ton of 2000 lb, this will become 1814 kwh, and for a ton of 2240 lb it will be 2032 kwh (MORE)
What is the heat content of coal in mmbtu per ton?
Anthracite .
Anthracite is coal with the highest carbon content, between 86 and 98 percent, and a heat value of nearly 15,000 BTUs-per-pound. Most frequently associated with home heating, anthracite is a very small segment of the U.S. coal market. There are 7.3 billion tons of anthracite reserves… in the United States, found mostly in 11 northeastern counties in Pennsylvania..
Bituminous .
The most plentiful form of coal in the United States, bituminous coal is used primarily to generate electricity and make coke for the steel industry. The fastest growing market for coal, though still a small one, is supplying heat for industrial processes. Bituminous coal has a carbon content ranging from 45 to 86 percent carbon and a heat value of 10,500 to 15,500 BTUs-per-pound..
Subbituminous .
Ranking below bituminous is subbituminous coal with 35-45 percent carbon content and a heat value between 8,300 and 13,000 BTUs-per-pound. Reserves are located mainly in a half-dozen Western states and Alaska. Although its heat value is lower, this coal generally has a lower sulfur content than other types, which makes it attractive for use because it is cleaner burning..
Lignite .
Lignite is a geologically young coal which has the lowest carbon content, 25-35 percent, and a heat value ranging between 4,000 and 8,300 BTUs-per-pound. Sometimes called brown coal, it is mainly used for electric power generation. (MORE)
How many Btu per square foot for air conditioning?
600 spf A good general rule of thumb is 20 BTU per square foot. So, a 200 sf room would require a 4000 BTU ac unit. If you use 20btu per square foot to determine the required tonnage, you will be under sizing your system. For example 20btux1500sf=30000btu. There are 12000 btu per ton so you …are using a 2.5 ton system to cool 1500 sf. On a hot summer day your electric meter will be spinning like a tilt-a-whirl at the county fair. Your air conditioner is designed to run at it peak performance when the ambient temperature is 95 degrees or below. When the ambient heat or heat index exceeds 95 degrees you a/c is working harder and running longer. When sizing an a/c system you should take into consideration the summer climate where you live. In Texas we use 500 sf per ton as a rule with homes that have 8 foot ceilings, however walls with western exposure, windows facing the west (sun set) and vaulted or high ceilings should be considered in your determination. In commercial application you use 400 sf per ton, but you also factor the number of people occupying the space, equipment that generates heat and the amount of make up air that is required. 0sf-750 sf= 1.5 ton 751-1000sf= 2.0 ton 100sf1-1250sf=2.5 ton 1251sf-1500sf=3.0 ton 1501sf-1750sf=3.5 ton 1751sf-2000sf=4.0 ton 2001sf-2500sf=5.0 ton (MORE)

How many BTU per ton of wood pellets?
Within reason all woods have a potential BTU value of 8000 BTU's per pound. Oak, Ash, Balsa and Pine all have the same potential. I am sure there are some exotic woods that might violate this rule but for the sake of this question 8000 BTU/Pd will do nicely. The term potential is a theoretical maxim…um yield and, in a practical sense, can not be achieved except in the laboratory..
The key is in the weight not the species. Wood, when alive and green, has approximately 50% moisture content. Obviously, water will inhibit the conversion to heat so actual, aka possible, BTU's available to heat a home will drop according to the moisture content. When the moisture content drops to less than 20% the available BTU's will be approximately 6000 BTU's per pound. Seldom, if ever, will the average homeowner achieve greater than this as they have no control of moisture content of whatever they are burning..
Some wood pellets will perform a little better than raw wood as they have a binder that holds the pellets together like paraffin or other organic binders. Not all pellets use a binder rather they rely on tremendous forming pressure to maintain their shape during transport and handling. (MORE)
