Question

the principal quality Criterion of natural gas is its heating value in the total calorific (heating) value of fuel gas produced or solid in natural gas is 1150 BTU / standard ft(exponent3).how much energy can a tank with a volume of 59.4 cubic ft produce? (this is the question)I just need a brief explanation with answer

Answer 1

If the energy generated by the natural gas is 1150 BTUs for each cubic foot of gas, we can find the amount of energy in a tank with 59.4 cubic feet of gas by multiplying this volume by the amount of heat generated per cubic foot:

`Energy=1150\frac{\text{ BTU}}{ft^3}\cdot59.4\text{ }ft^3=1150\cdot59.4\text{ BTU}=68310\text{ BTUs}`

Therefore the amount of energy that can be produced is 68,310 BTUs.
