How many btu's to heat 1 POUND OF water 1 degree?
To heat 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, you need 1 British Thermal Unit (BTU). This is based on the definition of a BTU, which is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit at a constant pressure.
What did Thomas Savery invent?
Thomas Savery invented a machine for raising water by steam pressure, He called it 'the miner's friend'. It was adapted by Thomas Newcomen for his atmospheric engine in 1712.
What is the customary measure unit of temperature?
In most of science it is the Celsius degree. There are 100 of these degrees between the freezing point and boiling point of water at standard pressure (sea level). The other common or customary unit is the Fahrenheit degree. There are 212 of these degrees between the freezing and boiling points of pure water at standard atmospheric pressure.
What would be the temp of water when you mix -10 degree of water with 10 degree of water?
That depends on how much of each you're mixing. Good luck finding that -10 degree water.
What is the difference degree celsius and degree farenhent?
Those are two different temperature scales, related via the following formula: F = (9/5)C + 32 The melting point of ice (at standard pressure) is 0 degrees C, or 32 degrees F. The boiling point of water (at standard pressure) is 100 degrees C, or 212 degrees F.
