The latent heat of crystallization for water is -2583.4 BTU/lb-mole. Multiplying the two together and you get -1197 BTUs, which means you need to remove that amount of heat to convert the gallon of water to ice.
Check the neck of the faucet it is sometimes inscribe their on the back.
U.S.gallon = 8.33 pounds of water. Therefore to raise the temperature by one degree F will require 8.33 BTU. The initial temperature of 50 F is inconsequential.
If you have a gallon, you only can have one gallon.
The ratio is 1:6 chemicals to water, so for half a gallon of water, you use 1/12 a gallon of chemicals
Between a 500-gallon-per-minute pump and a 2,000-gallon-per-minute pump.
Assuming all the water becomes steam in that 1 minute: 1 gallon = 0.13368 cubic feet and the volumetric expansion of water into steam is 1675. Therefore 1 gallon of water will produce 1675 x 0.13368 = 223.914 cubic feet of steam. Which would also be 223.914 cubic feet per minute since the water is evaporated in 1 minute.
1 gallon of water weighs 8.34 pounds, or 3.786 kilograms
Yes, that is easily done, but will it cope adequately with demand ?
Depends on the temperature of the ice.
Easy to figure out 2.2 * 8 = 17.6
It is not the square feet that determines the size water heater you need it is the demand. The more people who live in the home the higher the demand on the water heater to produce enough hot water. 1-3 people requires a 40 gallon water heater 4-6 people requires a 50 gallon water heater Of course you can make do with a 40 gallon water heater with a family of 4 or more but you will at times run out of hot water. Even if there are only 1 or 2 living in the home do not buy a 30 gallon water heater. You save very little money and may run out of hot water. But at least a 40 gallon.
It takes 8.33 BTU to raise the temperature of water 1 degree F.
This is a pretty straightforward calculation. By definition, a BTU is the amount of energy required to raise one pound of water one degree F. But you have one gallon of water, which weighs approximately* 8.34 pounds. So, you'd need 8.34 BTU to increase one gallon of water one degree F. Note how the amount of time was not important. Whether you heat the water slowly or quickly doesn't matter. You will still require 8.34 BTU to raise the temperature of a gallon of water one degree F. * I say approximately because the weight of water varies slightly with its temperature. Water is at its densest at 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees F). A gallon of water at temperatures above and below that value will weigh less.
over 5 gallons of water but if you take a 10-15 minute shower you can save a half a gallon of water by 6min. to 5min.
