One BTU is equal to one degree Fahrenheit in the sense that it one BTU is the amount of heat required to raise a pound of water's temperature by 1 Degree Fahrenheit. BTU is short for British thermal unit.

AnswerAs the watt is used to measure power, and the BtU is used to measure energy, your question is meaningless. It's like asking "How many miles per hour are there in one mile?"

∙ 14y ago1 BTU is equal to 1,055.05585 joules
1 joule is equal to 1 newton meter
1 newton meter is equal to 0.7375621 foot-pounds of force.
So 1 BTU is equal to 778.1692603332722 foot pounds of force.
1 joule is also equal to one watt, so one BTU is equal to 1054 watts, which is 0.2929 watts hours.

How many joules are in one barrel of oil?
The equivalent of about 6,330,000,000 joules or 6 million BTUs
How many BTU per gallon of LNG?
i think it is one british thermal unit
What does BTU means in science?
It is a measurement of heat energy or the output of a heating or cooling device. A British Thermal Unit is the amount of energy needed to raise or lower the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F.
What is the Btu rating of LP gas?
A British Thermal Unit (BTU) is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree F. This is the standard measurement used to state the amount of energy that a fuel has as well as the amount of output of any heat generating device. You might be able to imagine it this way. Take one gallon (8 pounds) of water and put it on your stove. If the water it 60 degrees F. and you want to bring it to a boil (212 degrees F.) then you will need about 1,200 BTUs to do this. All combustible materials have a BTU rating. For instance, propane has about 15,000 BTUs per pound. Charcoal has about 9,000 BTUs per pound and wood (dry) has about 7,000 BTUs per pound. This gives you an idea of how much fuel you'd need to, say, cook something. When it comes to gas grills they all have a maximum BTU rating per hour. If you see a 35,000 BTU gas grill that means that that grill puts out 35,000 BTUs from all its main burners combined in one hour, or uses a little more than 2 pounds of propane an hour. While the BTU rating on a gas grill doesn't necessarily tell you how much heat it will produce, it does give you an idea and it tells you how much fuel you'll be burning
What mass of water can be heated from 25 degrees celsius to 5 degrees celsius by the addition of 2825 joules?
None. Changing water from 25 degrees C to 5 degrees C requires heat to be REMOVED, not added!
How many btu's in office water-cooler?
There are no BTUs in an office water-cooler. But you can calculate how many BTUs are removed by the cooler. One BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. There for when you remove one BTU you are lowering one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. So if you know how many pounds of water you have and the temperature of the water you start with and the temperature of the water comming out of the cooler you can calculate how many BTUs the cooling unit of the water cooler has removed. BTU=Temp1 - Temp 2 X LB water
How many btu in one ton?
The number of BTUs per cord of wood depends on the type of wood. One cord of cottonwood is equal to 16.1 million BTUs. One cord of hard maple is equal to 23.7 million BTUs, and one cord of red oak wood is equal to 24.4 million BTUs.
How many btu to raise air temperature 1 deg?
It doesn't work that way. There is not a certain number of btus to raise air temperature. You would have to know how much air. A BTU is the British Thermal Unit. That is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree F.
What exactly is the definition of a british thermal unit?
A British thermal unit is a unit of energy that is equal to about 1055 joules. A British thermal unit is the amount of energy that is needed to heat or cool one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit.
How many btu's in one ton of TNT?
3,966,000 BTUs
How many btu per hour would be produced in a 12-kW electrical heater?
There are at least 5 different definitions for slightly different BTUs. One of them says that 1 kWh = 3412.14 BTUs. Let's use that one. 1 kWh = 3412.14 BTUs 12 kWh = 40,945.68 BTUs
What is BTU of gasoline in engine?
BTU is an abbreviation for British Thermal Unit. This represents how much heat or energy is required to increase the temperature of 1 lb of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. Gasoline, on average, creates between 115,000 and 125,000 BTUs. In contrast, ethanol creates about 75,000 BTUs.
How many BTUs are in a cigarette?
Well, one kitchen match is 1 BTU.
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.

What does BHP means on the ship?
BHP on a ship is a U.S. thermal unit of measurement, and stands for "Boiler Horsepower". One BHP unit is equivalent to 33,475 BTU (British Thermal Units).
1350 sq ft requires how many BTU?
1350 square feet requires about 24,000 BTUs for cooling. A space this large will need more than one unit if you are using window units for cooling.
