You need to know the thermal value of your gas ie, how many litres per kw. The information should be on your gas bill. If this is an exam question there is information missing.
agree bhg - whose name looks a bit like British Thermal Unit - how I loved them !
so far no one has noticed that £2.12 / cu meter is 212p / m3 is 212p / 1000li is 0.212p / li
( one cu m is 1000 li )
This is info available on the gas bill and I know I have just shredded mine after paying of course. we need the said gas conversion factor see above
i dont think this is a skool prob - I think someone has just left one on for 10 h hasnt he ?
The above info is supplied from my last years gas bill as supplied by the owners of our static camp site.Without actually watching the outside gas meter I wondered if it was possible to calculate how long it takes the fire to use up 1 cubic metre. It's LPG gas piped direct to the van,very expensive to use.
I was hoping to compere it against running 2 1.5 KWH oil radiators which costs 10.11 per Kwh ie 10hrs at 10.11 x 2 = 202.20p .Of course the radiators cut out so cost would be slightly less.
Hope this makes sense.
Ref my original question I guess I would have to keep watch to see how long it would take to use up 1 cubic metre.
dja know the story of Fred Hoyle being asked by a student - disaster Prof Hoyle my estimate of the universe is a billion times too small -
Hoyle - hey lets have a look -here do this and that - and hey presto
Later - - Prof Hoyle my estimate was wrong - but it was a billion times too LARGE !
Hoyle: lets have a look ! do this and that.....
