Question

in an experiment 97kg of a fuel was completely burnt. the heat product was measured to be 20000kj calculate the calorific value of the fuel​

Answer 1

Answer:

The calorific value of fuel is the amount of heat produced by the complete combustion of 1 kg of fuel.

Heat produced by 4.5 kg of fuel =180000 kJ.

Heat produced by 1 kg fuel =  

4.5

180000

​  

 =40000 kJ/kg.

Hence, the calorific value of the fuel is 40,000 kJ/kg.
