How many BTUs required to raise the temperature of a room by 10 F?
It depends on the volume of the room.
How many btu's in office water-cooler?
There are no BTUs in an office water-cooler. But you can calculate how many BTUs are removed by the cooler. One BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. There for when you remove one BTU you are lowering one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. So if you know how many pounds of water you have and the temperature of the water you start with and the temperature of the water comming out of the cooler you can calculate how many BTUs the cooling unit of the water cooler has removed. BTU=Temp1 - Temp 2 X LB water
How many BTU needed to operate 30000 gallon pool at 80 degrees?
It takes 8.34 BTU to heat 1 gallon of water 1 degree F. Take 8.34 BTU times number of gallons to determine energy needed to raise pool 1 degree F. Then multiply by how many degrees you need to raise the temperate of the current pool temperature to the desired temperature. Example: 8.34 * 30,000 gal = 250,200 BTU need to raise temperature 1 degree F Next multiple by the number of degrees to warm, say the pool is 55 F. 80F - 55F = 25F. 250,200 BTU * 25 F = 6.255 million BTUs to heat the pool to 80 F. This does not take into account the loss of energy to the surroundings but gives you a starting point to determine the energy needed to heat a mass of water.
How many BTU required to heat a 250 sq ft room?
It will vary on the room type and construction. However you can assume you want 10-15 watts of energy per square ft. That would mean you want 2500-3750 watts total, which would be 8,500 - 12,750 BTU's (3.4 BTUs/Watt).References:How_many_square_feet_does_a_5000_BTU_heater_heathttp://www.diychatroom.com/f18/btus-watts-35066/
How many BTUs to heat a 500 square foot house?
about 12,000
