How many Btu's in 1 pound of natural gas?
The average is about 20,000 BTU's per pound at standard temperature and pressure.
How many BTU in 1 cu ft of oak wood?
There are about 200,781.25 btu in a cubic foot of oak. A cord of wood amounts to 128 cubic feet.
What is the Btu of cord of wood?
A cord of wood typically has a heating value of around 20 to 25 million British Thermal Units (Btu) depending on the type of wood and its moisture content.
How many BTU to melt one ton of ice in 24hrs?
It would take approximately 12,000 BTU (British Thermal Units) to melt one ton (2000 pounds) of ice in 24 hours. This is based on the heat of fusion of ice, which is 144 BTU per pound.
How do you convert mega joule per kilogram to Btu per pound?
Two pieces of information are require to answer this question.1BTU = 1055.05585J and 1kilogram = 2.2046226 poundsHence 1 BTU/pound = 1BTU/pound x 2.2046226pounds/kilogram x 1055.05585J/BTUor 1BTU=2326.00J/kgor 1BTU=2.326kJ/kgor 1BTU=2.326x10-3MJ/kgFor example if u need to convert 10500 BTU,10500BTU=10500BTU x 2.326x10-3MJ/kg10500BTU=24.42MJ/kgThe trick to conversion calculations is to always makes sure the unwanted units are cancelled with the ones you do want.
How many BTU per 1 ton of wood pellets?
One ton of wood pellets produces approximately 16 million British Thermal Units (BTU).
How many calories has a tone of wood pellets and a tone of a gas?
Wood pellets are expressed in Btu's per lb. The typical is 8400/Btu's/lb.1 BTU = 251.995761111111 CaloriesOne Ton of Wood Pellets would be 8400/lb times 2000 lbs or 16.8 million Btu's/ton 16.8 million times 252 is the gram calories.Typically though to understand the heat comparison it is best to compare the heat given per million BtuWood Pellets are 8400 Btu's/lb. or 16,800,000 Btu'sPropane gas is 91,600Btu's/gallon according to the American Gas AssociationOne ton of pellets is equal to 183 gallons of propane.#2 Fuel oil is 139,000 Btu's/gallonOne ton of Wood Pellets is equal to 121 Gallons of #2 fuel oilIf your propane is selling for $2.50/gallon you are paying $35.90/million Btu'sIf your paying 225.00/ton of wood pellets you are paying $17.40/million Btu'sIf your paying $3.50/gallon for fuel oil you are paying $ 32.51/million Btu's
How long does a 40 pound bag of wood pellets last?
Typically the heat value is 8700 BTU per pound. This is for a premium pellet at less than 7% moisture. So, about 348,000 BTU per bag. Rule of thumb, I go with 8500 BTU per pound, as not all manufacturers can guarantee Moisture after it is delivered to the Retail sector. Pellets can pick up additional moisture if not stored properly!
How many BTU are in a pound of butane?
There are approximately 21,200 BTU (British Thermal Units) in a pound of butane.
How does BTU of energy in wood compare to BTU of energy in coal?
Wood generally has a lower BTU value compared to coal. Coal is a more concentrated source of energy, with higher BTU per pound than wood. This means that coal can produce more heat energy per unit of weight compared to wood.
How many Btu's in 1 pound of natural gas?
The average is about 20,000 BTU's per pound at standard temperature and pressure.
How many BTU does it take to raise one pound of everdur bronze 1degree F?
0.104 btu
How many gallons of fuel oil equals one ton of wood pellets?
According to the Forest Products Laboratory, #2 Fuel Oil has a Net Heating Value of 115,000 Btu/gal and Premium Wood Pellets have a Net Heating Value of 13.6 million Btu/ton. Btu is a unit of energy to describe the heat value of fuels. From an energy standpoint it would take 118.26 gallons of #2 Fuel Oil to provide the same heating energy as one ton of Premium Wood Pellets. 118.26 gal of fuel oil x 115,000 Btu/gal = 13.6 million Btu = one ton of wood pellets At 50 bags per ton, this equates to 2.36 gallons per bag of wood pellets. ................................................................................................................. Sorry but #2 heating fuel has between 138,700 and 141,000 btu/ gallon , not 115,000. ................................................................................................................. Another edit: The Building Performance Institute and other sources generally give #2 heating oil a heat value of 139,000 BTU/Gallon, but that's not the whole story. Most oil furnaces have a combustion efficiency of about 84%, although this can vary. 139,000 BTU times .84 is ~117,000 BTU. So the original poster was pretty close to right in terms of heat delivered when a gallon of oil is burned, but the second poster is right in terms of the total heating value of the oil if it has a 100% efficient combustion. Once combusted, the heat distribution system efficiency must be looked at. Are you heating an uninsulated basement rather than your living space? Likewise, there are a range of numbers found on line for the heat value of wood pellets. I've seen from 13.6 to 16.4 million BTU. It depends on the quality of the wood pellets, and "Premium" pellets in one region may not be the same quality as "Premium" pellets in another. And once you have your bags of pellets, you have to account for the combustion efficiency of the pellet stove in order to figure out how much you'll really get. One source claims that older models burn at about 65% efficiency, while newer ones burn at 80%. Sealed combustion, with combustion air coming from outside, is generally more efficient. And again, how efficient is the distribution system? Most pellet stoves are in the living space, rather than in the basement, which would be typical of an oil burning system, and this may or may not overcome the distribution system losses.

How many btu's to heat 1 POUND OF water 1 degree?
To heat 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, you need 1 British Thermal Unit (BTU). This is based on the definition of a BTU, which is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure.
