1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds. It takes I BTU to change the temp of 1 pound of water 1 degree F. So for 1 gallon it takes 8.34 BTU. It takes 3412.14 BTU to equal 1 KWH. So 8.34 Btu x (1KWH / 3412.14 BTU) = 0.002444 KWH
1 cu foot = 1ft * 1 ft * 1 ft = 12 in * 12 in * 12 in = 1728 cubic inches. So 2592 cu inches = 2592/1728 = 1.5 cu ft
1 kW.hr. = 3412.14 Btu. so 14 kW.hr. = 47,770 Btu.
Q = heat = ( 252 cal ) ( 1 Btu / 252 cal ) = 1.00 Btu = 1.00 British Thermal UnitANSWER: 1.00 Btu = 1.00 British Thermal Unit
Heating units are not measured in tons as AC units are. Heating capacity is referred to in 1000`s of btu output per hour of operation. The ratio of input vs output = the efficiency rating, for example if your home furnace is rated at 100,000 btu per hour input and 80,000 btu per hour output . it is 80% efficient (when it was new). For AC 12.000 btu = 1 ton.
