How many degrees does 500 Btu's generate?

Answer 1

The number of degrees generated by 500 BTUs (British Thermal Units) depends on factors such as the volume of the space being heated and the specific heat capacity of the materials involved. For example, heating a small room may raise the temperature significantly, while heating a larger space will result in a smaller temperature increase. To calculate the exact temperature rise, you would need to know the room's dimensions and the specific heat of the air. Generally, 1 BTU raises the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1°F, but air behaves differently.
