A gallon of jet fuel supplies 126,000 BTU. So...a million BTU is less than 8 gallons.
1000000
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon/10 =14000 btu X 2 =28000 btu
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu
The heating value of fuel oil varies depending on the grade. For residential heating, FO2 produces 137 to 141.8 thousand BTU per gallon. Propane has a heating value of 23.811 thousand BTU per lb. or 91k per gallon. This means 3.01 to 3.12 gallons are needed.
Propane = 91,600 btu per gallon
140,000 btu/gallon, nominal
No. 6 fuel oil has a combustion value of 151,300 - 155,900 Btu/US gallon.
To calculate the BTU needed to heat 10 gallons of water from 32°F to 212°F, you can use the formula: BTU = gallons × 8.34 (weight of water per gallon in pounds) × temperature change (in °F). The temperature change is 212°F - 32°F = 180°F. Thus, BTU = 10 gallons × 8.34 lbs/gallon × 180°F = 15,012 BTU.
1 HP = 2545 BTU/hour So 10000 is about 4 HP
approx. 140,000
One gallon of diesel fuel is equal to 139,200 BTU. The man who invented the compression-ignition engine was Rudolf Diesel. This is where diesel fuel gets its name.
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu/gallon. Psi does not matter.
