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's would it take to heat 120 gallons of water to 210 degrees f in 2 hours?

To calculate the BTUs required to heat 120 gallons of water to 210°F, first determine the temperature rise needed. Assuming the initial water temperature is around 60°F, you would need to raise it 150°F (210°F - 60°F). The BTU calculation is: [ \text{BTUs} = \text{gallons} \times \text{temperature rise} \times 8.34 ] So, [ \text{BTUs} = 120 \text{ gallons} \times 150°F \times 8.34 \approx 1,500,600 \text{ BTUs}. ] To heat this in 2 hours, you would need about 750,300 BTUs per hour.

How many btu's does it take to heat a basement room 150 square feet?

Standard practice holds that it takes 5000 BTUs to heat a room 100 to 150 sq ft Figure on adding another 1000 BTUs for every 50 or so sq ft added. Hence , 400 to 450 sq ft would need about 10,000 BTUs

How much heat is required to vapourize 5 pounds of water?

It takes approximately 970 BTUs to vaporize one pound of water. Therefore, for 5 pounds of water, it would require 4850 BTUs to vaporize all of it.


How many BTUs does it take to raise the temperature of water from 32 degrees to 300 degrees?

That will completely depend on how much water there is.


How many BTUs are required to raise the temperature of 15 pounds of water from 100F to 120F?

To calculate the BTUs required to raise the temperature of water, you can use the formula: BTUs = (pounds of water) x (temperature change in °F) x (1 BTU). For 15 pounds of water going from 100°F to 120°F, the calculation would be: BTUs = 15 pounds x 20°F x 1 BTU = 300 BTUs.

How many btus are required to change one pound of ice at 20 f to steam at 220 f?

It takes approximately 144 BTUs to change one pound of ice at 20°F to water at 212°F, and an additional 970 BTUs to change the water to steam at 220°F, for a total of 1114 BTUs.


How many btus are required to raise the temperature of 15 pounds of water from 100 degrees fahrenheit to 130 degrees fahrenheit?

To calculate the BTUs required to raise the temperature of 15 pounds of water, you can use the formula: BTUs = Weight of water in pounds × Temperature change in degrees Fahrenheit × 1 BTU So, the calculation would be: BTUs = 15 lbs × (130°F - 100°F) × 1 BTU = 15 lbs × 30°F = 450 BTUs.


How many btus does it take to turn water into steam?

It takes approximately 970 BTUs to convert one pound of water at 212°F (100°C) to steam at the same temperature.


12ounce equal how many pound?

0.75 or 3/4 pound.


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.


What is the BTU formula?

BTUs, or British Thermal Units, measure the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. The formula to calculate BTUs is: BTUs = weight of water (in pounds) x temperature change (in degrees Fahrenheit) x 1. Alternatively, the formula can be expressed as: BTUs = (Flow rate in gallons per minute x change in temperature in degrees Fahrenheit) / 500.
