That depends on what the starting temperature of the water is,

and what temperature you want it to reach.

If you expect to get a number, you must first give the necessary numbers.

How many BTUs will it take to change 1 gallon of water at 32 degrees to ice at 32 degrees?

You would need to remove approximately 1200 BTUs of heat to convert a gallon of water to ice. There are 8.34 lb in a gallon of water, which converting to lb-moles is 0.463. The latent heat of crystallization for water is -2583.4 BTU/lb-mole. Multiplying the two together and you get -1197 BTUs, which means you need to remove that amount of heat to convert the gallon of water to ice.


How many BTUs does it take to heat 390 gallon tank of water from 60 degrees to 248 degrees?

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.

How many BTUs will it take to lower 1 gallon of water 1 degree?

1 BTU = heat corresponding to change in temperature of 1 pound of water by 1° Fahrenheit.Weight of 1 gallon of water = roughly 8.33 poundsHeat corresponding to change in temperature of 1 gallon of water by 1° Fahrenheit = 8.33 BTU.But it doesn't take that, i.e. you don't have to supply it. You're talking about lowering thetemperature, so you're just allowing the water to cool on its own. As it does, it releases8.33 BTU of heat, which you can then collect and take away to use somewhere else.

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.


How many btus to maintain a 350 gallon spa?

400 k BTU - But it depends on the gas line size feeding the heater; how long that run is etc. The larger heater will heat the water quicker thus cost for heating will be less ( than if you used a 250K BTU)
