How many liters of oil are required to supply the electrical energy needs of an average home for a month?

Here are my selected energy comparisons





Energy released by burning 1 liter of oil= 1.2 x 10(7th power)


Electrical energy used in an average home daily 5 X 10 (7th power)





Thanks in advance!

you have no units on your energy numbers.





but taking the numbers as is,


5/1.2 = 4.17 liters per day. multiply by 30 to get monthly usage.


4.17 x 30 = 125 liters %26lt;==== answer











real life numbers:


1 gallon of heating oil is 146e6 Joules


1 gallon is 3.8 liters


1 liter of heating oil is 38e6 Joules


Average energy consumption of a US home = 1000 watts


in a month 1000 watts is 1000*3600*24*30 joules or


2600e6 Joules


so 2600e6 / 38e6 = 68 LitersHow many liters of oil are required to supply the electrical energy needs of an average home for a month?
Please give the calorific value of of the particular oil.





Is it a HSD or a waste from industry?
