Question

If 4.5kg of fuel is completely burnt and the amount of heat produced stands measured at 1,80,000 KJ what is the calorific value?

Answer 1

Amount of fuel = 4.5 kg

Heat produced = 1,80,000 kJ

Calorific value =?

Calorific value =$\frac{Heatproduced}{Amountoffuel}$

$=\frac{1,80,000}{4.5}$

∴ Calorific value = 40,000 kJ/kg
