How much propane does a pilot light burn in a typical gas appliance?
A pilot light in a typical gas appliance burns about 600-900 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of propane per hour.
Why does fire not burn in water?
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.
How much propane does a 50000 btu htr burn per hour?
propane has 21,548 BTU per pound so about 2 1/2 pounds per hour remember that propane is stored in a liquid and you need a big enough tank to allow the propane to change from a liquid to gas.
How much propane does an outdoor lamp use?
The amount of propane an outdoor lamp uses can vary depending on factors such as the size and output of the lamp, how long it is used each day, and the intensity of the flame. On average, a typical outdoor lamp with a standard propane tank can burn for about 10-12 hours on a one-pound propane cylinder.
How much explosive force is in a 20 pound propane tank?
A propane tank by itself has no explosive force. Propane will only burn when mixed with oxygen. However you can create what they call a BLEVE from a propane tank (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Basically you would heat up the propane tank (example house on fire, etc) and a reaction would occur causeing the tank to burst. There are other ways to do it but it gets really technical. Research BLEVE and you will fand many references about blast effects and fireball radius, frag radius etc. The following link gives you safe separation distances: http://me.queensu.ca/people/birk/research/thermalHazards/bleve/safeDistance.php
When Instead of carrying oxygen to burn with the fuel a scramjet takes the oxygen from the . This eliminates much of the of the oxygen tanks.?
When a scramjet engine operates, it takes oxygen from the air rather than carrying its own supply. This eliminates the need for heavy oxygen tanks, reducing the overall weight and complexity of the system.
How much propane is burned in a propane fireplace on average?
The amount of propane burned in a propane fireplace can vary based on factors such as the size of the fireplace, its energy efficiency, and how long it is used. On average, a propane fireplace can burn approximately 1 to 2 gallons of propane per hour of operation.
How much propane does a pilot light burn in a typical gas appliance?
A pilot light in a typical gas appliance burns about 600-900 BTUs (British Thermal Units) of propane per hour.
Why does fire not burn in water?
Fire feeds on oxygen, and water does not have much of it.
How safe is propane furnces. Is it a good choice to change from oil to propane?
it is quite safe, propane gas does not explode. you should know how propane smell and should leave the house once you smell it. Gas doesn�??t burn as hot as oil therefore propane isn't looking particularly economical. although propane is cleaner.in addition it is so much quieter, there is no oil smell. if you looking to save money do not change otherwise propane is a very good choice
How many grams of propane can be burned by 24 grams of O2?
For complete proper combustion of Propane: C3H8 + 5O2 = 3CO2 + 4H2O The relative atomic weights of a molecule of Propane and Oxygen are: Propane: 3 × C + 8 × H = 3 × 12 + 8 × 1 = 44 Oxygen: 2 × O = 2 × 16 = 32 Thus a molecule of propane is 44/32 = 1⅜ times heavier than a molecule of oxygen; and the same amount (number of molecules) of propane as 24 g of oxygen is 24g × 1⅜ = 33g Each propane molecule takes 5 oxygen molecules, thus: 33 g ÷ 5 = 6 3/5 g = 6.6 g If the combustion produces the poisonous carbon monoxide instead of carbon dioxide: 2C3H8 + 7O2 = 6CO + 8H2O → propane = 33g × 2/7 = 9 3/7 g ≈ 9.4 g A complete answer is thus between 6 3/5 g (6.6g) and 9 3/7 g (9.4 g) depending upon how much carbon monoxide relative to carbon dioxide is produced by the burning - the safe amount is 6.6 g.
What gas would make a candle burn for longer?
Usually oxygen, primarily because it is how fire is made. But for longer, there isn't a possible way to make it burn 'longer' with gas, but more rather use wax and string that are more durable to fire. Or alternatively you can put a plant near the fire (out of burning range) to give the fire as much oxygen as possible. hope it helps
Why does a shuttle of a rocket needs to have a tank containing oxygen?
While oxygen itself is not flammable, oxygen readily supports combustion. Adding oxygen to a flammable material will cause it to burn much faster and much hotter. You can see this demonstrated very easily by watching a welder at work. The welder uses acetyline as the flammable and by adding oxygen the acetyline becomes hot enough to weld or even cut metal. When the acetyline runs out the oxygen itself does not burn. Now back to the shuttle. By mixing liquid oxygen with the booster fuel they can get a much hotter and faster burn creating much more power from the amount of fuel they have on hand. Liquid oxygen is used because you can carry a much larger amount. One gallon of liquid oxygen expands to enough gas when as it vaporises to replace several cylinders.
Compare the exposive power of TNT against that of propane gas?
Not possible as the explosive force of propane will depend on what it is mixed with (air or oxygen or other oxidiser), the ratio propane to oxidising agent, and pressure. In very many cases, propane will not explode when ignited.
How hot is a charcoal fire?
Really Hot! :D I hope that helped!' Depends how much oxygen is added as oxygen does not burn BUT it does vigorously support combustion
How much propane does a 36000 BTU heater burn per hour?
Propane has a heat content of 19,900 btu/lb net. This means that a 36000 btu/hr heater needs to burn 1.809 lbs of propane per hour to produce this amount of heat. A 40 lb bottle will last about 22 hours if the heater runs continuously.
How much propane does a 50000 btu htr burn per hour?
propane has 21,548 BTU per pound so about 2 1/2 pounds per hour remember that propane is stored in a liquid and you need a big enough tank to allow the propane to change from a liquid to gas.
