Question

Calculate the amount of fuel burnt if 1,50,000 KJ of heat energy is produced if the CV of the fuel is 30,000KJ/Kg

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total mass of fuel = 4.5 kg Total heat produced = 180,000 kJ Heat produced by burning 1 kg of fuel = 180,000 kJ/4.5 kg = 40,000 kJ/kg. So, calorific value of fuel = 40,000 kJ/kg.
