We don't know the size of the house or what degree of heat it requires. Your thermostat set at what temperature? Most homes, in winter, need the tank refilled every two to three weeks.
Well, 3 atoms of carbon and 8 atoms of hydrogen put together would yield propane... The combustion of Propane in air would include oxygen.So i think the answer to your question is 'The combustion of Propane.' in which case the balanced chemical reaction is:C3H8 + 5O2 ---> 3CO2 + 4H2O
== Probably close to the weight of water. 8.34 lbs per gallon.
if you have a weak structure of your house like automobiles then there could be minor to no damage and unweakning structure of wood mostly not damage your house and brick houses will stand perfectly through 70mph winds
it would look like two and three quarters of a gallon.
area with older brick structures
The blast radius of a 250 gallon propane tank would be 100 yards
We just purchased 100 gallons in Bryan, Texas at $2.90/gallon. This seems high, since I thought propane would cost less than auto fuel per gallon.
Irmo, South Carolina.Suburban Propane filled my tank with 216 gallons of propane on Oct. 10, 2012 and charged $3.99 per gallon plus delivery charges, etc. Highway robbery! Competitive propane suppliers in same general area are quoting $1.99 per gallon with the price firm for one year. After making Suburban propane aware of the price difference they lowered the invoice to $1.99 per gallon. No good reason was offerred for the high initial price except that Suburban's regional manager comes through once per year and sets the prices. I would characterize this as price gouging at its worse. I would caution everyone that uses large volumes of propane, especially if they are on an automatic refill program, to get competitive quotes before purchasing.
The Letters "WC" on a propane tank stand for "Water Capacity", and are followed by a number which would identify the tanks Water Capacity typically measured in lbs. Water weighs approximately 8.3lbs per gallon Propane weighs approximately 4.24lbs per gallon
$2,125 1000 x $2.5 = $2,500 $2,500 x 85% = $2,125
That would depend on it`s size or input rating. You can get the input rating off the unit nameplate and divide that # by 2500 and that will tell you how many cubic feet of propane vapor the furnace burns per hour. If you buy propane by the gallon ask your supplier how many cubic feet of vapor a gallon of liquid propane yields and you can figure your answer.
as of last week in June i was quoted a price of 2.99 gallon if purchased now or set up prepay contract...sounded as if it would go up ..paid 3.35 gallon march 2008 last winter that was a high can only imagine how high it may go if now purchased soon
A propane supplier's job would be to supply propane to the companies and businesses that would need or want propane for their business. They would sell the propane to those businesses.
Depends on the size of the burner, if the unit is 5000 btu's ,( probably much smaller), but it makes the math easy that would run a fridge (full throttle) for 20 hours. The flame cycles, so it won't use that non stop. To make it easy., divide the amount of btu's into 93,000 (roughly the btu's in a gallon of propane) and you will have your answer
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.
Kilowatts are really a measure of power, that is, the rate at which energy is being used. It depends on how big your engine is. You could have a tiny, low-powered engine which uses the gasoline up very slowly,or you could have a huge, high-powered gas-guzzling monster, which would use it up fast. What you really might be asking, however, is "what is energy content of a gallon of propane?". Energy is measured in Joules. A joule of energy will keep a 1 Watt engine running for 1 second. If you ask: "How many kilowatt-hours of energy can an engine get out of a gallon of propane?", that would depend on the efficiency of the engine, which could be as low as a few percent. Wikipedia states: "When properly combusted, propane produces about 50 MJ/kg"
One gallon of propane weighs 5 pounds. The tank would hold 60 gallons.
