280,000 gallons * 16 pounds per gallon = 4,480,000 pounds of water

1 BTU to raise 1 pound of water 1 degree F (at 60 to 61, Standard Atmospheric Pressure)

1 pound of propane ~ 22,000 BTU

4,480,000 / 22,000 ~ 203

203 pounds of propane ~ 50 gallons

Burning approx 50 gallons of propane will heat 280,000 gallons of water by one degree. (Hardly a geothermal event, they burn more propane in the average tailgate at a NFL game.)

The definition of a calorie is the amount of energy (heat) to raise 1 g of water by 1 degree C. Here you have 1 liter, which is 1000 ml, and if you assume a density of 1g/ml, you have 1000 g of water. Thus it will take 1000 calories of energy to raise it 1 degree C, which is the same as 1 kcal. In joules, it will be 1000 calories x 4.184 joules/calorie = 4184 joules = 4.184 kJ.

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of one liter of water 1 degree centigrade?

The specific heat of water is 4.179 Joules per gram per degree Centigrade. The density of water is 1 gram per cubic centimeter, so one liter is 1000 grams. This means it takes 4179 Joules to raise one liter one degree Centigrade.
