  2. British thermal unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_thermal_unit

    The British thermal unit (Btu) is a measure of heat, which is a form of energy. It was originally defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of water by one degree Fahrenheit. It is also part of the United States customary units. [1] The SI unit for energy is the joule (J); one Btu equals about 1,055 J (varying ...

  3. Annual fuel utilization efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annual_fuel_utilization...

    For example, a 90% AFUE for a gas furnace means it outputs 90 BTUs of useful heating for every 100 BTUs of natural gas input (where the rest may be wasted heat in the exhaust). A higher AFUE means higher efficiency. The method for determining the AFUE for residential furnaces and boilers is the subject of ASHRAE Standard 103.

    A component of an HVAC system that adds heat to air or an intermediate fluid by burning fuel (natural gas, oil, propane, butane, or other flammable substances) in a heat exchanger. gas furnace heat exchanger A gas furnace heat exchanger is responsible for the transfer of heat from inside the furnace into the air outside the furnace.

  5. Blast furnace gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_furnace_gas

    Blast furnace gas. An early internal combustion blowing engine of around 1900, powered by furnace gas. Blast furnace gas (BFG) [1] is a by-product of blast furnaces that is generated when the iron ore is reduced with coke to metallic iron. It has a very low heating value, about 93 BTU /cubic foot (3.5 MJ/m 3), [2] because it consists of about ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_oil

    Fuel oils include heavy fuel oil (bunker fuel), marine fuel oil (MFO), furnace oil (FO), gas oil (gasoil), heating oils (such as home heating oil), diesel fuel, and others. The term fuel oil generally includes any liquid fuel that is burned in a furnace or boiler to generate heat (heating oils), or used in an engine to generate power (as motor ...

  7. Thermal efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_efficiency

    Thermodynamics. In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency ( ) is a dimensionless performance measure of a device that uses thermal energy, such as an internal combustion engine, steam turbine, steam engine, boiler, furnace, refrigerator, ACs etc. For a heat engine, thermal efficiency is the ratio of the net work output to the heat input; in the ...
