Natural gas comes out of the ground. As a product of nature, natural gas is not the same from country to country. Methane is the main component, but metane's percentage can vary between 80% and 95%. Others hydrocarbons' percentage (for example ethane, propane, butane etc) also vary. Since heating value depends on the percentage of the hydrocarbons, heating value also varies.

How many cubic feet of natural gas to equate to 1 gallon per minute of heating oil?

It will vary somewhat with the composition of the natural gas, but roughly 133 cubic ft of natural gas has the same heat value as 1 gallon of #2 heating oil. Minutes do not enter into the calculation


How do you calculate heating value of natural gas?

The net heating value will considering the evaporation of water formed in reaction of natural gas decomposition as follow CnHm+(n+m/4)O2=nO2+m/2H2O For Methane : CH4 we have n=1 " number of carbon m=4 " number of hydrogen then: CH4+(1+4/2)O2 O2+2H2O=CH4+3O2=2H2O Subtracting enthalpy of products from reactants to get enthalpy of decomposition


What way would cash flows differ in different countries?

The cash flow is different in different countries because of the econmoy. Depending the value of the currency some countries would greater cash flow compare to poor countries.


What is the calorific value of diesel fuel?

When we are making a thermodynamic analysis of a system where diesel fuel is combusted we use the heating value of the fuel. You must determine whether you should use the higher heating value (HHV), or lower heating value (LHV), based on the application. Hope this helps.


What is the heating value of diesel fuel?

Lower Heating Value (LHV) MJ/kg = 43.4 Higher Heating Value (HHV) MJ/kg = 46.5


Why currency value of different country is different?

The values of currencies are based on that country's economic strength. Goods do not have the same value across multiple countries.


How many countries use pesos as a national currency?

There a few countries that use "pesos" but they're all of different value.


What burns hotter oil or natural gas?

Natural gas burns hotter than oil. Natural gas has a higher heating value per unit volume compared to oil, making it a more efficient and hotter-burning fuel.


How do you find heating value of natural gas?

about 1,000 BTU/ft3. See related link. It is not exact because natural gas composition varies. A richer gas would have a higher heating value. The cubic feet (ft3) is often abbreviated scf, or standard cubic feet, measured at 60 deg F and 14.7 psia. Future market gas prices at quoted in $/mmBTU or dollars per million BTU (currently around $4/mmBTU), equivalent to $4.00/Mscf. See related site.


Currency differences in north and south?

Money is the same in both the North and the South. In different countries the money value is different.


Why is there a difference in currency value between different countries?

Because the value of each currency is based on their economic strength. Currency is traded between countries - and one currency may be in more demand (increasing its value) than another.


How much natural gas is required to produce 1 ton of steam?

On average, about 1050 cubic feet of natural gas is required to produce 1 ton of steam. This can vary depending on the efficiency of the boiler and the heating value of the natural gas being used.
