About 115K BTU per gallon.
About 114,000 BTU per US gallon.
One gallon of kerosene will produce 134,000 BTUs of energy when burned.
1 gallon for #1 Kerosene produces 135,000 BTUs. #1 Kerosene is closely related to #1 Diesel and JP8 (Jet Fuel) - they differ chiefly in additives. Likewise, #2 Kerosene, Diesel #2, and Furnace Oil are similar to one another. #2 oils have higher sulfur content, which leads to more eye and lung irritation from the emissions. However, they are also comprised of longer hydrocarbon chains, and therefore weigh more per gallon and also have somewhat higher energy content.
1 gal of #2 fuel oil (or diesel for that matter) has an equivalent of 115,000 BTUS. I say equivalent because it has a little more than that raw (like 136k or so) but the furnace that burns it is only around 85% efficient, therefore you only get 115K BTUS.
Approximately 5,800,000 BTUs per 42-gallon barrel.
How many Btus if 1 cubic foot of Liquid Petroleum
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.
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.
No. 6 fuel oil has a combustion value of 151,300 - 155,900 Btu/US gallon.
1 Us Gallon is = 7.149 pounds
140,000 btu/gallon, nominal
