Question

An office heater puts out 2090 Btu (British thermal units) of energy in the form of heat per hour. Given that 1 Btu=1.055 kJ, how many megajoules of energy in the form of heat can be produced per year (365 days) by the heater, assuming continuous operation?

Answer 1

Total energy produced 19135.362 MJ/year

Step-by-step explanation:

given details:

total energy produced = 2090 Btu per hour

1 Btu = 1.055kJ

Total energy produced per year in mega joule is = 2090*1.055 *365*24

= 19315362 KJ/year

In mega joule per year
`= (19315362)/(1000)`

mega joule per year = 19135.362 MJ/year
