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 are needed to heat 280000gal of water?
You do not mention how much you want to heat the water and in what period of time. But here are the figures: 1 btu = temperature increase of 1* F of 1 pound of water. One gallon of water weighs 8.33 lbs. So a boiler with an output rating of 2,332,400 btu will raise the temperature 1*F in 1 hour. (280,000x 8.33). Boiler outputs are rated in btu per hour . how many btu does it take to heat 15lb of water from 100 degrees F to 129 degrees F?
What is the Heating Value measured in MMBTU per Ton or BTU per lb of Horse Manure?
I think a Google search will help you with this one. Try: horse manure/btu or something like that.
How many BTU required to heat temp to 140 degrees F?
To determine the BTU (British Thermal Units) required to heat a substance to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to know the mass of the substance, its specific heat capacity, and the initial temperature. The formula is: BTU = mass (in pounds) × specific heat capacity (in BTU/lb°F) × temperature change (in °F). For example, heating 1 pound of water (specific heat capacity of 1 BTU/lb°F) from 70°F to 140°F requires 70 BTU.
How many btu's per gallon in propylene?
Propylene has a lower heating value of approximately 21,500 BTU per gallon.
Btu value of 1 ltre of heating oil?
The average heating value of heating oil is around 138,500 Btu per gallon. Since there are approximately 3.785 liters in a gallon, one liter of heating oil would contain about 36,600 Btu.
How many BTU's per gallon of gasolene?
114,000 BTU/gallon
How many Btu's are in 1 gallon of kerosene?
114100 Btu
How many BTU per bath?
Standard bath is taken to be 20 gallons at 8.35 pounds per gallon and 60 degrees F of heating = 10,000 BTU per bath in round numbers, assuming 100% efficiency water heating.
How many BTU per shower?
Standard shower is taken to be 10 gallons at 8.35 pounds per gallon and 60 degrees F of heating = 5,000 BTU per shower in round numbers, assuming 100% efficiency water heating.
How many BTU's per gallon of gasoline?
For regular gasoline, 125,000 BTU per US gallon
How many btu in 1 gallon of number 2 diesel fuel?
140,000 btu/gallon, nominal
How many btu in a gallon of gasoline?
In a gallon of gasoline, there is approximately 124,884 btu. BTU refers to British thermal unit. It is actually a traditional unit.
How many btu's of heat energy are needed to raise the temperature of 12 gallons of water from 50 degrees Fahrenheit to 130 degrees Fahrenheit?
answer: 7680 btu 1 gallon= 8 lb 130F-50F=80F 12G*8LB*80F=7680 BTU
How many BTU per hour equals 1 ton of Heating?
12,000 BTU/hr
Approximately how many gallons of propane would it take to match of the energy content of two gallons of fuel oil?
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.
