That depends on what the starting temperature of the water is,

and what temperature you want it to reach.

If you expect to get a number, you must first give the necessary numbers.

How many btus to heat water 10 degrees?

To raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, it requires 1 BTU (British Thermal Unit). Therefore, to heat water by 10 degrees, it would require 10 BTUs per pound of water. This value may vary slightly depending on the specific heat capacity of the water.

How many btus will it take to raise 50 pounds of ice at 32 degrees to water at 160 degrees?

To raise 1 pound of ice from 32°F to water at 32°F it requires 144 BTUs. Since you have 50 pounds of ice, you would need 50 * 144 BTUs to raise the ice to water at 32°F. To further raise the water from 32°F to 160°F, you would need an additional amount of BTUs based on the specific heat capacity of water.


How many BTUs are in a one ton heat pump?

A one ton heat pump typically has around 12,000 British Thermal Units (BTUs) per hour of heating or cooling capacity.


How many BTU will it take to change 10 pounds of ice at 20 degrees to steam at 220 degrees?

To change 10 pounds of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit, you need to supply enough energy to first melt the ice, then heat the water to the boiling point, and finally convert it to steam. This process requires approximately 180 BTUs per pound of ice to melt it, 180 BTUs per pound of water to heat it to the boiling point, and then 970 BTUs per pound of water to convert it to steam. So, for 10 pounds of ice, the total BTUs required would be around 18,300 BTUs.

How many BTUs will it take to change 1 gallon of water at 32 degrees to ice at 32 degrees?

You would need to remove approximately 1200 BTUs of heat to convert a gallon of water to ice. There are 8.34 lb in a gallon of water, which converting to lb-moles is 0.463. The latent heat of crystallization for water is -2583.4 BTU/lb-mole. Multiplying the two together and you get -1197 BTUs, which means you need to remove that amount of heat to convert the gallon of water to ice.


How many BTUs does it take to heat 390 gallon tank of water from 60 degrees to 248 degrees?

The specific heat of water is 1 BTU per pound per degree Fahrenheit. There are 8.3378 lbs/gallon at 60 degrees, which equals 3251.742 pounds of water. The number of BTUs to raise it 188 degrees is then 611,327.496 BTUs.


How many BTUs does it take to raise the temperature in a 40 gallon water heater 60 degrees F?

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.

How many BTU's does it take to freeze 1 gallon of water?

To freeze 1 gallon of water, it requires approximately 144 BTUs. This is based on the latent heat of fusion, which is the energy needed to change water from liquid to solid at 32°F (0°C). Since 1 gallon of water weighs about 8.34 pounds, the total energy required includes the cooling of the water to its freezing point as well as the phase change.


How many BTU's per gallon of kerosine?

How many BTUs are in a gallon of propane?

Type your answer here... there are around 91,600 BTUs in a gallon of propane. The standard BBQ sized bottle of propane contains 11 pounds of propane. Propane weighs about 4.2 pounds per gallon, so that 11 pounds of propane is about 2.5 gallons in its liquid state. That means there is 91,600 BTUs/Gal times 2.5 gallons so a BBQ sized tank of propane contains about 2.3 million BTUs. If your BBQ has a 50,000 BTU burner, on high heat, it will last a bit over 4 and half hours of run time.

How many BTUs will it take to lower 1 gallon of water 1 degree?

1 BTU = heat corresponding to change in temperature of 1 pound of water by 1° Fahrenheit.Weight of 1 gallon of water = roughly 8.33 poundsHeat corresponding to change in temperature of 1 gallon of water by 1° Fahrenheit = 8.33 BTU.But it doesn't take that, i.e. you don't have to supply it. You're talking about lowering thetemperature, so you're just allowing the water to cool on its own. As it does, it releases8.33 BTU of heat, which you can then collect and take away to use somewhere else.
