A 100 pound propane tank has a capacity of 2,160,509 BTUs
The specific heat of water is 1 BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit. There are 8.3378 lbs/gallon at 60 degrees, which equals 3251.742 pounds of water. The number of BTUs to raise it 188 degrees is then 611,327.496 BTUs.
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
To convert a watt to BTUs, the factor is 1 kilowatt of power = 3412.1416 BTU/hr3.412 BTUs equal a watt.AnswerYour question is meaningless, as these two units measure different quantities. The watt is the SI unit of measurement of power, whereas the BtU is the Imperial unit of energy. So watts cannot be equated to BtUs.
1 standard cubic foot of natural gas gives about 1030 BTU
144
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
actually its 313.
313 Btu
LATENT HEAT OF FUSION When one pound of ice melts, it absorbs 144 BTUs at a constant temperature of 32°F. If one pound of water is to be frozen into ice, 144 BTUs must be removed from the water at a constant temperature of 32°F.

That will completely depend on how much water there is.
4800 BTUs will 150 square feet.
160 btu's. It takes 1 btu (British Thermal Unit) to change the temperature of 1lb of water 1°. This is referred to as sensible heat. This 1 to 1 ratio does not hold true when changing the state of that water to ice or to steam. Changing the state 1lb of water at 212° to 1lb of steam at 212° you must add 970 btu's and to change 1lb of water at 32° into 1lb of ice at 32° you must add 144 btu's. This is referred to as latent heat.
100 BTU if it's Fahrenheit
A small room is about 5,000 BTUs. Most people don't have a room that would require more than 10,000 BTUs.
