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.

How long will a gallon of Kerosene burn at 30000 btu hours?

A gallon of kerosene typically contains about 135,000 BTUs of energy. At a burn rate of 30,000 BTUs per hour, a gallon of kerosene would last approximately 4.5 hours (135,000 BTUs ÷ 30,000 BTUs/hour = 4.5 hours). However, actual burn time can vary based on factors such as efficiency and burner design.

How many BTUs does it take to raise the temperature in a 40 gallon water heater 60 degrees F?

To calculate the BTUs needed to raise the temperature of a 40-gallon water heater by 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: BTUs = gallons × temperature rise × 8.34. For a 40-gallon heater, it would be 40 gallons × 60°F × 8.34 BTU/gallon°F, resulting in approximately 20,016 BTUs. Therefore, it takes about 20,016 BTUs to achieve that temperature increase.

How many BTUs are in a gallon 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.
