Question

60 kg of fuel was completely burnt for an experiment. The amount of heat energy was found to be 180,000Kj. Calculate calorific value of the fuel

Answer 1

Answer:

Calorific value = Amount of Heat Energy / Amount of fuel

= 180000 kJ / 60 kg

= 3000 kJ/kg

Answer 2

Given

The total amount of the fuel is 60kg

The total amount of heat energy = 18000kj

To find

The calorific value of the fuel

Solution

The solution to the above problem can be easily found using a simple chemical equation

The solution to the above problem is as follows

We know that the equation for calorific value is  $\frac{Amount of Heat Energy }{Amount of fuel}$

So substituting the values in the above equation

we get it as $\frac{180000}{60}$ = 3000kj/kg

So the calorific value of the above =3000kj/kg
