One gallon of ethane contains approximately 91,600 British thermal units (BTU). This value can vary slightly based on temperature and pressure conditions, but it serves as a general reference for the energy content of ethane. Therefore, to convert gallons of ethane to BTU, you can multiply the number of gallons by 91,600.
A gallon of jet fuel supplies 126,000 BTU. So...a million BTU is less than 8 gallons.
Propane = 91,600 btu per 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.
To determine the gallons of kerosene a 400,000 BTU forced air heater will use, you need to know the energy content of kerosene, which is approximately 135,000 BTUs per gallon. Dividing 400,000 BTUs by 135,000 BTUs per gallon gives you about 2.96 gallons. Therefore, a 400,000 BTU heater would use roughly 3 gallons of kerosene for each hour of operation at full capacity.
#2 fuel oil = 140,000 btu per gallon/10 =14000 btu X 2 =28000 btu
Recommend 400,000 BTU heater
answer: 7680 btu 1 gallon= 8 lb 130F-50F=80F 12G*8LB*80F=7680 BTU
You need to know eactly how many gallons and btu that require for your home.
There is a total of 8 atoms in Ethane.
400k btu
About 0.43 US gallons of oil.
If there are 93,000 btu's per gallon of propane, and you are burning 25,000 per hour. That would be 3.72 hours per gallon or approx .27 gallons per hour. 6.45 gallons per day.
