A BTU is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit (F) at or near 39.2 degrees F and 1 atmosphere of pressure.
Electric heaters are rated in KW, not BTU's
3413 BTU's = 1 KW-hr.

A 10-kilowatt heater produces 34,120 BTUs per hour.
The number of BTUs in a 6 ft baseboard heater would depend on the model and specifications of the heater. On average, a 6 ft baseboard heater can generate around 1,000-1,500 BTUs per linear foot, so a 6 ft baseboard heater may produce approximately 6,000-9,000 BTUs.
1500 watts is equivalent to 5118 BTU per hour. 1500 watt-hours is equivalent to 5118 BTU.
To determine the BTUs that must be removed from one pound of water at 200°F to convert it to ice at 30°F, we need to account for several steps: cooling the water from 200°F to 32°F (the freezing point), the phase change from water to ice at 32°F, and then cooling the ice from 32°F to 30°F. Cooling the water from 200°F to 32°F requires about 168 BTUs (1 BTU cools 1 pound of water by 1°F). Freezing the water at 32°F requires the removal of 80 BTUs (latent heat of fusion). Cooling the ice from 32°F to 30°F requires an additional 2 BTUs. In total, approximately 250 BTUs must be removed (168 + 80 + 2 = 250 BTUs).
To determine the amperage draw of a 5200 BTU heater, you can use the formula: Amps = BTUs / (Voltage x Efficiency). For example, if the heater operates at 120 volts and has an efficiency of about 100%, it would pull approximately 43.3 amps (5200 BTU / 120 volts). However, many small heaters operate at lower voltages (like 120V), so it's essential to check the specific heater's specifications for accurate amperage.
To calculate the BTUs needed to raise the temperature of a 40-gallon water heater by 60 degrees Fahrenheit, you can use the formula: BTUs = gallons × temperature rise × 8.34. For a 40-gallon heater, it would be 40 gallons × 60°F × 8.34 BTU/gallon°F, resulting in approximately 20,016 BTUs. Therefore, it takes about 20,016 BTUs to achieve that temperature increase.

Depends on the BTUs of the heater.
The number of BTUs per foot of baseboard heating can vary depending on the type and size of the baseboard unit. Typically, standard hydronic (hot water) baseboard heaters emit around 400 to 600 BTUs per foot, while electric baseboard heaters can produce about 250 to 300 BTUs per foot. The specific output also depends on factors like water temperature and the design of the heater. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for precise information.

To determine the gallons of kerosene a 400,000 BTU forced air heater will use, you need to know the energy content of kerosene, which is approximately 135,000 BTUs per gallon. Dividing 400,000 BTUs by 135,000 BTUs per gallon gives you about 2.96 gallons. Therefore, a 400,000 BTU heater would use roughly 3 gallons of kerosene for each hour of operation at full capacity.
To calculate how much a 266 BTU pool heater will raise your CCF usage on your gas bill, you need to determine how long the heater will run and the cost of gas per CCF. For instance, if the heater runs for 10 hours and uses 266 BTUs per hour, it will consume 2,660,000 BTUs in total. Since there are 100,000 BTUs in a CCF, this would equate to approximately 26.6 CCF. Multiply this by your local gas rate per CCF to estimate the increase in your gas bill.
the Frost Fighter IHS #700 Indirect Space Heater ahs 700000 BTUs.
To determine how long it will take for a 2 kW heater to raise 26,000 BTU, you first need to convert BTUs to kilowatt-hours (kWh) since the heater's power is in kW. 26,000 BTU is approximately 7.64 kWh (1 BTU = 0.000293 kWh). Dividing the energy needed (7.64 kWh) by the power of the heater (2 kW) gives you about 3.82 hours. Thus, it will take approximately 3 hours and 49 minutes for the heater to raise the water by that amount.
A small room is about 5,000 BTUs. Most people don't have a room that would require more than 10,000 BTUs.
To heat a 15x30 pool, you'll generally need a heater with a capacity of around 100,000 to 150,000 BTUs. This range will efficiently raise the water temperature, depending on factors like the desired temperature increase, ambient conditions, and pool cover usage. It's essential to consider local climate and how often you plan to use the pool to determine the best heater size for your needs.
