Approximately 5,800,000 BTUs per 42-gallon barrel.
8000 gallons
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
gallons of what? a gallon is a measure of volume, and a kilogram is a measure of weight. a gallon of frying oil
== == It depends on where you live and the cost of the fuel. You have to convert to the heating value of gas and oil, factor in efficiency, and then compare the cost per BTU's. For example: Determine the cost of gas vs. oil in your area: For example, heating oil in Seattle is $4.10 per gallon while gas is $1.09 per therm. Next, calculate the cost of fuel per MMBTU's. Knowing that heating oil has 138,690 BTU per gallon and natural gas has 100,000 BTU per therm, you can calculate using this equation: $ cost --------- X 1,000,000 = cost per MMBTU BTU's The result of the above step is $29.56/MMBTU for oil, and $10.87/MMBTU for gas. Next, divide the above by the efficiency of the furnace. Oil furnaces are 80 to 90% efficient and gas furnaces are typically 83% efficient. The net cost of the fuel per MMBTU is $34.78 for oil and $13.09 for gas in this scenario. If your old house uses 63 MMBTU a heating season, that is a total of $2,200 for oil and $824 for gas for the whole heating season
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu/gallon. Psi does not matter.
No. 6 fuel oil has a combustion value of 151,300 - 155,900 Btu/US gallon.
139,600
approx. 140,000
btu per pound * pounds per gallon OK, it sounds as if you know the value of fuel in oil btu per pound.Now find out how much a gallon of fuel oil weighs and multiply the btu value x that weight in pounds and that is the value per gallon. Or simply, diesel fuel is #2 fuel oil which contains 140,000 btu per gallon.
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon/10 =14000 btu X 2 =28000 btu
Yes. Its all hydrogen and carbon. Reduce it until it is the heat range you want it to be. You will find that if done properly it is safe and adds value to your waste oil by giving it more btu's per gallon. Do not burn it without reduction!
Approximately 5,800,000 BTUs per 42-gallon barrel.
The number of BTU's per gallon of oil depends on the type of oil, of which there are many different kinds for different uses. The links, below, offer guidance in converting such values. Use your favorite web search engine to find conversions for specific oils, per the following examples: convert gallon of diesel fuel #1 to BTU convert gallon of home heating oil to BTU
Oil has the higher BTU rating Depends. If it is Liquified Nat. Gas then it has the higher rating.
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu
About 5,800,640.8 BTU
