You will still require 8.34 BTU to raise the temperature of a gallon of water one degree F. 1  I say approximately because the weight of water varies slightly with its temperature. 2  Water is at its densest at 4 degrees Celsius (39 degrees F). 3  A gallon of water at temperatures above and below that value will weigh less.
A BTU is a measurement of thermal energy where one BTU is equal to the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 pound of water by 1Â° Fahrenheit. Even small space heaters can produce thousands of BTUs. A central air conditioner, which uses hundreds of thousands of BTUs.e: dougsherman's post. 1 BTU is roughly 1055 joules of heat, or energy. You are mistaking joules with joules/second. Regardless of how long it takes to expose the water to 1 BTU of heat, 1 BTU of heat will raise the temperature of 1 pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit.
