I want to know if natural gas is more efficient in comparison with Diesel or any other form (regularly used in flats for heating) of petroleum.
Just in terms of efficiency I am not talking about the cost to convert or any other stuff just the W of the efficiency
Like for example 1 liter of natural gas can heat up 10 liters of water in X time at X degrees
One liter of diesel can heat up 10 liters of water in X time at X degrees
Or a figure in BTUs for the SAME quantity of the contestant fuels
I thank you in advance.
Thank you but I need figures about the >>> Work/quantity <<<< NOT the Work/cost factor
maybe a mathematical expression for the calories or what ever a certain predefines quantity/amount of natural gass can produce
And the same for the Diesel oil or any other popular petroleum product for heating.
I thank you in advance.
If noone knows any expressions or real figures.. just answer with estimates or rough numbers.. like "natural gass heats twice as much for the same quantity.. " or somthing like that.. thnx

The efficiency of heating in any building is determined by the design of the heating system and not the fuel being used. Either can be very efficient or not. This applies to hot water heaters, furnaces or other fuel consuming devices.
If one wishes to make a comparison then it must be done on cost per btu of fuel consumed. In that case you must be sure you are comparing the consumption rates properly since one is a vapor and the other is a liquid. You can not just do it on a volume basis.
Natural Gas has the lowest cost per Btu of heat obtained.
Natural Gas is also easiest to deliver , to burn, and the cleanest fuel.
If you are comparing on a heat per liter of fuel, you will get much more heat from a liter of diesel fuel than you will from a liter of natural gas.
