How many btu per gallon of heating oil at 130 psi?
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu/gallon. Psi does not matter.
Heat engine utilizes low heat value of fuel or high heat value of fuel?
Heat engine utilizes low heat value of oil and also the fuel oil consumption for IC engine usually based on high heat value of oilby Shyam
Which has a higher BTU rating natural gas or oil?
Oil has the higher BTU rating Depends. If it is Liquified Nat. Gas then it has the higher rating.
How do you calculate specific fuel consumption of gas turbine?
A simple-cycle gas turbine used for power generation has a thermal efficiency of about 34 percent. Since 1 kwh is theoretically equivalent to 3,415 Btu, the simple-cycle gas turbine has a fuel connsumption of: 3,415 / 0.34 = about 10,000 Btu/kwh. Given the heating value (i.e, heat of combustion) of a fuel, we can easily calculate the simple-cycle gas turbine fuel usage. For example, natural gas has a net heating value of about 21,500 Btu/pound. Thus, the natural gas consumption in a simple-cycle gas turbine would be: 10,000 / 21,500 = 0.47 pounds/kwh = 0.21 kg/kwh. As another example, a typical diesel oil has a net heating value of 130,000 Btu/gallon. Thus, the diesel oil consumption in a simple-cycle gas turbine would be: 10,000 / 130,000 = 0.077 gallon/kwh. (The gallon used just above is the U.S. gallon rather than the Imperial gallon) A combined-cycle gas turbine will have a higher thermal efficiency and, hence, lower fuel consumptions.
How many BTU's per gallon of Fuel Oil?
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.
How many Btu to a gal of oil?
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu
Which fuel is cheaper to heat with for the same production of btu's?
Natural gas= 1000 btu per cubic ft, propane =2500 btu per cubic ft and #2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon. Check the availability & prices in your area and you can figure your answer.
How many btu per gallon are in heavy fuel oil?
No. 6 fuel oil has a combustion value of 151,300 - 155,900 Btu/US gallon.
How to convert Btu per pound to btu per gallon of diesel fuel?
btu per pound * pounds per gallon OK, it sounds as if you know the value of fuel in oil btu per pound.Now find out how much a gallon of fuel oil weighs and multiply the btu value x that weight in pounds and that is the value per gallon. Or simply, diesel fuel is #2 fuel oil which contains 140,000 btu per gallon.
How much energy is in 0.2 gallons of oil?
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon/10 =14000 btu X 2 =28000 btu
How many btu per gallon of heating oil at 130 psi?
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu/gallon. Psi does not matter.
How many BTU per gallon fuel oil?
approx. 140,000
How many BTU per gallon of oil?
The number of BTU's per gallon of oil depends on the type of oil, of which there are many different kinds for different uses. The links, below, offer guidance in converting such values. Use your favorite web search engine to find conversions for specific oils, per the following examples: convert gallon of diesel fuel #1 to BTU convert gallon of home heating oil to BTU
What is the specific heat of sesame oil?
The specific heat of sesame oil is 1,63 J/g.K.
Does jet fuel have a higher btu rating than fuel oil?
"BTU rating" could mean specific energy (energy per mass) or energy density (energy per volume) which are not necessarily the same. Kerosene has a higher specific energy (~48.4 MJ/kg for kerosene vs. 43.1 MJ/kg for diesel) but a lower energy density (33.6 MJ/L for kerosene vs 38.6 MJ/L for diesel).This analysis assumes jet fuel as kerosene and fuel oil as diesel (both comparisons are generally close to each other). Diesel and fuel oil differ in that diesel has a cetane number specification, which is a measure of ignition delay. Kerosene differs from jet fuel by a few specifications applied to specific types of jet fuel, but most jet fuel is kerosene based.Note: since the question was asked about Btu and my answer was given in megajoules here is the proper conversion:1 megajoule (MJ) = 947.81712 British Thermal Units (Btu)1 US gallon = 3.7854118 Liters (L)

Is electricity better than coal or oil for heating?
No it is not. To explain: Coal produces 6,150 kWh of heat per ton, and that heat only converts 40% of that into electricity - so pound per pound burning coal as a direct heat source produces less pollution and uses less coal than converting the coal into electricity and then back to heat (IE: a 40% loss). Heating Oil lowers the cost per kWh or BTU by around 40.6% (or about the same amount).To heat the average home, by fuel use & cost:Oil - $1,247 or 138,700 BTU per gallonNatural Gas - $1,463 or 100,000 BTU per ThermWood - $2,102 or 8,000 BTU per pound (High pollutant)Propane - $2,523 or 92,000 BTU per gallonElectric - $4,071 or 3,413 BTU per kWhSource: Energy Information Agency, U.S. Dept. of Energy 2007
