How many BTU are in a pound 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.
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

How much propane will a 400000 BTU pool heater use?
The amount of propane a 400,000 BTU pool heater will use depends on factors like the heater's efficiency and the temperature you desire. On average, a 400,000 BTU pool heater can consume around 4-5 gallons of propane per hour when running at full capacity.
Gallons of propane to liters of propane?
If you know volume and density, you can determine mass. The density of compressed liquid propane at 25 °C is 0.493 g/mL. 1000mL = 1L Density = mass/volume Mass = density x volume = 0.493g/mL x 1000mL = 493g
How many gal of propane is equal to 1 gal of gasoline?
On average, one gallon of propane contains about 0.73 gallons of gasoline equivalent. This means that you would need around 1.37 gallons of propane to equate to 1 gallon of gasoline in terms of energy content.

How many btu's per gallon in propylene?
Propylene has a lower heating value of approximately 21,500 BTU per gallon.
How many BTU does it take to produce 1 gal of gasoline?
Check this website out. It has a list of all fuels and the BTU outputs. http://www.cogeneration.net/FuelAndEnergyConversionandEquivalence.htm
What size propane tank can hold 60 gal of propane?
A 60 gallon tank?
How many 20-pound propane tanks are needed to run a generator that would be connected to a refrigerator and stove?
Calculate the energy required first. Propane has 1,000,000 btu's in 10.89 gal. (2500 btu's per cubic foot on the vapor side). Consider also the ambient conditions as the colder it is outside the lower the pressure gets on the propane. The surface area above the liquid propane is where the evaporation to vapor takes place. You may end up with big ice rings forming unless you pipe the regulator outlets into a manifold to distribute the load over multiple tanks.
What is the Calorific value of a liter of 28 sec central heating oil and the Calorific value of a KG of Propane - both when used as a central heating fuel?
#2 fueloil is 140,000btu per gal. Propane is about 79,000btu per gal. check with local propane supplier but 78k-79k per gal rings my bell. geterdone
