How many BTUs does it take to heat one pound of water from 80 degree F to 212 degree F?
212 - 80 = 132 degrees temperature increase x 1 pound water = 132 BTU
How many btu to raise air temperature 1 deg?
It doesn't work that way. There is not a certain number of btus to raise air temperature. You would have to know how much air. A BTU is the British Thermal Unit. That is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree F.
1 pound of -4 degree F ice to 284 degree F steam how many BTUs does it take?
1320 btu`s
How many Btus will it take to raise 10 pounds of water from -5 to 220 Degrees?
2250
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 to heat water 10 degrees?
To raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, it requires 1 BTU (British Thermal Unit). Therefore, to heat water by 10 degrees, it would require 10 BTUs per pound of water. This value may vary slightly depending on the specific heat capacity of the water.
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.
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
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.
How many BTUs does it take to heat one pound of water from 80 degree F to 212 degree F?
212 - 80 = 132 degrees temperature increase x 1 pound water = 132 BTU
How many btus does it take to raise 1 pound of water at 32 degrees to 212 degrees of steam?
It takes 180 BTUs to raise 1 pound of water from 32 degrees Fahrenheit to 212 degrees Fahrenheit to convert it completely into steam. This change in temperature includes heating the water from its freezing point to boiling point, then undergoing phase change from liquid to gas.
What is 650 degrees in BTUs?
One measure does not directly translate to another. A BTU is the amount of heat that it takes to raise the temp of one pound of water by one degree F. A burning match, and a burning fireplace may both be at 650 degrees, but the fireplace gives off more heat (more BTUs)
How many btu to raise air temperature 1 deg?
It doesn't work that way. There is not a certain number of btus to raise air temperature. You would have to know how much air. A BTU is the British Thermal Unit. That is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree F.
BTUs to melt one pound of ice?
From high school science class; it takes 144 BTUs to melt a pound of ice. That takes it to 32 degrees F. To then raise the temp to 72 deg., would take about 40 more BTUs.
How many btus are required to change 5 pound of ice at 20 degrees Fahrenheit to steam at 220 degrees Fahrenheit?
To change 5 pounds of ice at 20°F to steam at 220°F, you will need to go through multiple phases: raise ice temperature to 32°F, melt ice to water at 32°F, raise water temperature to 212°F, and then convert water to steam at 212°F to steam at 220°F. The total heat required, in BTUs, is around 503 BTUs per pound of ice, which translates to about 2515 BTUs for 5 pounds of ice.
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.
