1 therm = 1.05 X 108 joules
1 gallon = 3.79 liters
60 gallons X 3.79 = 227.4 liters
Water = 1g/mL = 1000g/1000mL = 1kg/1L
227.4L = 227.4 kg
Specific heat of water = 4,186 j/kg°C
140°F = 60°C
55°F = 12.78°C
Q = mC∆T
Q1 = (227.4 kg)(4,186 j/kg°C)(60°C - 12.78°C)
Q1 = 4.495 X 107
(4.495 X 107 j)(1 therm/1.05 X 108 j) = 0.428 == ==
The temperature required to kill bacteria in water is typically 140F (60C) or higher.
The temperature required to effectively kill bacteria in water is typically around 140F (60C) or higher.
NO! 100-120F setting normal. 140F can cause accidental scalding.
The temperature at which bacteria in water are typically killed is 140F (60C) or higher.
Water temperature of at least 140F (60C) is effective in killing germs.
The temperature at which water kills bacteria is typically around 140F to 150F (60C to 65C).
Paraffin wax
60C = 140F
4c-60c (40f-140f)
Cooked food should be maintained either cold or hot and that means either below 40F or above 140F. That makes 40F to 140F the "danger zone" because that's the temperature range where bacteria thrives.
40f = 4.444444...C 140f = 60c
The recommended cooking temperature for ham is 140F (60C).
