How many BTU's per gallon of gasoline?
For regular gasoline, 125,000 BTU per US gallon
Does kerosene have more btu per gallon thaN gasoline?
Yes. Kerosene has 140,000 btu's per gallon and gasoline has less.
How much thermal energy can you get out of a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline can generate roughly 20K BTU/lbm. There are 6 lbm per US gallon.
How many BTU's per gallon of gasolene?
114,000 BTU/gallon
How many joules in a liter of petrol?
A gallon of gasoline contains about 132x106 joules of energy, which is equivalent to 125,000 BTU or 36,650 watt-hours:
How many Btu's are in 1 gallon of kerosene?
114100 Btu
How many btu in 1 gallon of number 2 diesel fuel?
140,000 btu/gallon, nominal
What is BTU of gasoline in engine?
BTU is an abbreviation for British Thermal Unit. This represents how much heat or energy is required to increase the temperature of 1 lb of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit. Gasoline, on average, creates between 115,000 and 125,000 BTUs. In contrast, ethanol creates about 75,000 BTUs.
How many btu's per gallon in propylene?
Propylene has a lower heating value of approximately 21,500 BTU per gallon.
How many therms of natural gas equal one gallon of gasoline?
The energy content in fuels is often measured in BTU (British Thermal Units). I'm assuming that you're talking about compressed natural gas, as in the form that is used in some cars like the Honda Civic GX. One gallon of compressed natural gas contains 138,700 BTU. One gallon of gasoline contains 125,000 BTU. [http://www.bts.gov/publications/national_transportation_statistics/2002/html/table_04_06.html]
Why does E85 get less mpg then gas?
The internal combustion engine converts heat to motion or kinetic energy. Since ethanol has less "heat" than gasoline per gallon the fuel mileage will be less. Heat content of conventional gasoline = 115,500 Btu/gallon Heat content of ethanol = 76,000 Btu/gallon E85 is a blend of 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol so you can expect a drop in MPG of 20% or more.
Is there a chart that shows the comparative energy value of various fuel alternative ranging from gasoline to cellulosic ethanol to corn ethanol sugar ethanol and biodiesel?
While not as a chart, this is an idea about combustion energy values: Ethanol 77,000 Btu per gallon, Gasoline 125,000 Btu per gallon, Diesel 135,000 Btu per gallon and Biodiesel 130,000 Btu per gallon. Grades of fuel imply differences in composition and thus differences in combustion Btu values. Combustion values for ethanol will not depend on source of ethanol as long as ethanol content/composition is the same. Ali Hamza A_Hamza@yahoo.com
