Answer:

  • Calorific value of fuel is 17000 kJ/kg.

Explanation:

Given:

  • Mass of fuel burnt, m = 15 kg
  • Heat produced on burning 15 kg fuel, E = 255000 kJ

To find:

  • Calorific value of fuel, CV =?

Knowledge required:

  • Calorific value of a fuel is known as the amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of 1 kg of that given fuel.
  • Calorific value is generally expressed in unit kJ/kg .
  • Calorific value of fuel = Total heat produced on burning / mass of fuel burnt

Calculation:

Using formula

→ Calorific value of fuel = Heat produced on burning / mass of fuel burnt

→ CV = (255000 kJ) / ( 15 kg )

CV = 17000 kJ/kg

Therefore,

  • Calorific value of the fuel is 17000 kJ/kg.

Answer:

Given

\leadsto In an experiment 15 kg of a fuel was completely burnt. The heat produced was measured to be 255000 kJ.

To Find

\leadsto What is the calorific value of the fuel.

Solution

Given:-

Total mass of fuel = 15 kg

✏Total heat produced = 255000 KJ

According to the question,

Heat produced by 15 kg of fuel = 255000 kJ

Therefore, Heat produced by 1 kg of fuel,

\implies \dfrac{255000}{15} × 1 KJ/Kg

\implies 17000 KJ/Kg

\therefore The calorific value of the fuel is 17000 KJ/Kg
