How much propane does a 50000 btu htr burn per hour?
propane has 21,548 BTU per pound so about 2 1/2 pounds per hour remember that propane is stored in a liquid and you need a big enough tank to allow the propane to change from a liquid to gas.
Why does fire not burn in water?
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.
How much explosive force is in a 20 pound propane tank?
A propane tank by itself has no explosive force. Propane will only burn when mixed with oxygen. However you can create what they call a BLEVE from a propane tank (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Basically you would heat up the propane tank (example house on fire, etc) and a reaction would occur causeing the tank to burst. There are other ways to do it but it gets really technical. Research BLEVE and you will fand many references about blast effects and fireball radius, frag radius etc. The following link gives you safe separation distances: http://me.queensu.ca/people/birk/research/thermalHazards/bleve/safeDistance.php
How much propylene is produced by 1 ton of propane via the propane dehydrogenation units?
0.862 tons of propylene per ton of propane
What most likely uses more propane--a propane fireplace or a propane furnace?
Furnace it has to reach much higher temperatures than the fireplace
How much oxygen is required to burn a candle?
... The Amount of Oxygen in the room
Why is ethanol solubile in water but propane is not?
In general terms, because (1) the carbon-oxygen and hydrogen-oxygen bonds in ethanol are much more polar than any of the bonds in propane; (2) the oxygen atom in ethanol can form hydrogen bonds with the hydrogen atoms in water, but there is not such possibility with propane; and (3) propane contains more carbon atoms per molecule than ethanol.

How many grams of propane can be burned by 24 grams of O2?
For complete proper combustion of Propane: C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O The relative atomic weights of a molecule of Propane and Oxygen are: Propane: 3 × C + 8 × H = 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 = 44 Oxygen: 2 × O = 2 × 16 = 32 Thus a molecule of propane is 44/32 = 1⅜ times heavier than a molecule of oxygen; and the same amount (number of molecules) of propane as 24 g of oxygen is 24g × 1⅜ = 33g Each propane molecule takes 5 oxygen molecules, thus: 33 g ÷ 5 = 6 3/5 g = 6.6 g If the combustion produces the poisonous carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide: 2C3H8 + 7O2 = 6CO + 8H2O → propane = 33g × 2/7 = 9 3/7 g ≈ 9.4 g A complete answer is thus between 6 3/5 g (6.6g) and 9 3/7 g (9.4 g) depending upon how much carbon monoxide relative to carbon dioxide is produced by the burning - the safe amount is 6.6 g.
How safe is propane furnces. Is it a good choice to change from oil to propane?
it is quite safe, propane gas does not explode. you should know how propane smell and should leave the house once you smell it. Gas doesn�??t burn as hot as oil therefore propane isn't looking particularly economical. although propane is cleaner.in addition it is so much quieter, there is no oil smell. if you looking to save money do not change otherwise propane is a very good choice
Is chloride flammable?
Chloride itself is not a substance. It is the ion formed by the element chlorine. Chlorine can react with oxygen but in most of its reactions it does not burn but rather causes other substances to "burn" much in the manner that oxygen does.
What is oxygen rich?
"Oxygen rich" means lots of oxygen. If the air in a room is "oxygen rich" things will burn better. "Oxygen poor" means there isn't much and "oxygen starved" means there is none or almost none.

How hot is a charcoal fire?
Really Hot! :D I hope that helped!' Depends how much oxygen is added as oxygen does not burn BUT it does vigorously support combustion
If air contained oxygen instead of nitrogen?
If that were so then fires would burn much more intensely.
How much propane does a 36000 BTU heater burn per hour?
Propane has a heat content of 19,900 btu/lb net. This means that a 36000 btu/hr heater needs to burn 1.809 lbs of propane per hour to produce this amount of heat. A 40 lb bottle will last about 22 hours if the heater runs continuously.
