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 are required to change one pound of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit?

1)This is a 5 part question. The first is realizing that 20F to 32F uses .5BTU per pound per degree. That means it takes 32-20=12*.5=6BTUs to get the ice to 32F. 2)Then you need to know the Latent Heat of Fusion for Ice which is 144BTUs (given). Lets assumes the ice changes from ice to water instantaneously at 32F. 3)Next we calculate the BTUs from 32F to 212F. Which is 1BTU per pound per degree F. 212-32=180 so it take 180BTUS. 4)Next we have to use the Latent Heat of Vaporization of water which will say instantaneously converts water to vapor. This takes 970BTUS (given). 5)Then we calculate the BTUS from 212F to 220F. Which is .5BTUs per pound per degree F which is 220-212=8*.5=4BTUs...... Finally add up all the BTUs and you get 6+144+180+970+4=1304BTUs.


What is 650 degrees in BTUs?

One measure does not directly translate to another. A BTU is the amount of heat that it takes to raise the temp of one pound of water by one degree F. A burning match, and a burning fireplace may both be at 650 degrees, but the fireplace gives off more heat (more BTUs)
