What is the power consumed by 5000 BTU new air conditioner?

Most air conditioning [AC] units are divided up into different types or categories. For example, windows units, packaged units, ground mounted, geothermal, and yes even some solar units are starting to appear on the market. For a specific answer I would need to know the manufacturers name and the model number of your AC. The best and easiest way to determine how many watts are in an air conditioner [or used by an AC] is to find the nameplate data from the manufacturer. For window units it is normally located on the left or right side of the unit near the grill that sticks into the house. For other types of AC units it can usually be located by just looking around. Please don't confuse BTU's and Watts. BTU's are a measure of how much cooling capacity the AC has. Watts are a measure of how much electricity the AC uses. I believe you are interested in the wattage so here is a typical example. A 12,000 BTU window type AC typically uses about 1200 watts of electricity. If your electric utility charges .10 [10 cents] per kilowatt hour it would cost about 12 cents per hours to run the AC. There are of course all kinds of variables involved; age of the AC, how efficient the compressor and fan motors are, etc. If you are talking about a whole house AC unit the sizes can also vary considerably and there are many variables to consider. A typical new home of about 1400 ft. sq. located in the desert southwest area of the US would have a 3 Ton AC unit or 36,000 BTU ground or packaged AC unit. 3500 watts - Central Air Conditioner 600-1440 watts - Window Unit Air Conditioner


How electrical devices in homes give off small amount of heat true or false?

True that electrical devices generate some amount of heat.


What is the efficiency of an engine that gives off 70 percent thermal enery?

If this, ie 70%, is the total energy loss, it follows that the engine is producing 30% useful energy, so that is its thermodynamic efficiency.

How much heat does a candle give off when it burns?

When a candle burns, it gives off heat energy in the form of light and heat. The amount of heat produced by a candle can vary depending on factors such as the size of the candle and the type of wax used. Generally, a candle can produce around 80-100 watts of heat energy while burning.


Why does a candle give off little heat?

Candles give off little heat because most of the energy produced from the flame is emitted as light instead of heat. The relatively small size of a candle flame means that the amount of heat generated is minimal compared to other heat sources.


Does the burning of a candle give off or absorb heat?

The burning of a candle gives off heat. This is because the chemical reaction of the wax with oxygen releases energy in the form of heat and light.


What kind of Light does a candle give off?

A candle gives off a warm, soft glow through the process of combustion. The light emitted is primarily in the visible spectrum, which appears yellow or orange in color. This type of light is known as incandescent light.


Where does a candle get its power to give off heat and light?

A candle gets its power to give off heat and light from the chemical reaction that occurs when the candle wax (usually made of hydrocarbons) is burned. The heat generated from the flame melts the wax, which then vaporizes and combusts with oxygen in the air to produce heat and light energy.
