Thank you Nascarnut,
That is very helpful! I still have yet to actually fire the canner up...But Amerigas is delivering the 120 gallon tank this week. So it looks like I should be able to get close to 30 uses out of a tank.
Dave Orange from Rainier, OR... That's ironic... I grew up in Rainier, OR. How are you associated with him? My family lived there from the early 80's to late 90's, my father worked at the nuclear power plant - Trojan - owned by Portland General Electric.
Thanks for the help, sorry about the minor stroke...I had one just now trying to figure out what that triangle was in the equation...
Which Dave Orange? The Klingon actor from Start Trek or the 25 other Dave Oranges on Linked-In?
I may just have to do trial and error with a 200k btu burner and...
I've built a pressure canner that I'm using as a process reactor. I have had it pressure tested to 20 psig and have a pressure relief valve set at 30 psig. I need help in figuring out the following questions:
How do I figure out the btu's required to bring the thermal mass of the steel canner...
Where would be a good place in the forums to ask:How do I figure out the btu's required to bring the thermal mass of a steel pressure canner at 70 F up to 300 F?
~ Propane is fuel source.
~ The canner is broken into three pieces:
1. Bottom plate is 36" in diameter and 1/2" thick.
2...
Hi Forum-Friends...
Duncan Meyers. I'm not a physics major, nor can I do the math as well as you. But, I'm very curious to understand the physics involved in determining useful information in the world around me. I won't be very good at answering questions, although I sure will ask them. :)
