Explanation & answer:

Given:

Fuel consumption, C = 22 L/h

Specific gravity = 0.8

output power, P  =  55 kW

heating value, H = 44,000 kJ/kg

Solution:

Calculate energy intake

E = C*P*H

= (22 L/h) / (3600 s/h) * (1000 mL/L) * (0.8 g/mL) * (44000 kJ/kg)

= (22/3600)*1000*0.8*44000 j/s

= 215111.1 j/s

Calculate output power

P = 55 kW

= 55000 j/s

Efficiency

= output / input

= P/E

=55000 / 215111.1

= 0.2557

= 25.6% to 1 decimal place.

The efficiency of this engine will be "25.6 %".

Given values are:  

Fuel consumption,

  • C = 22 L/h  

Specific gravity,

  • 0.8  

Output power,

  • P  =  55 kW  

Heating value,

  • H = 44,000 kJ/kg  

The energy intake will be:  

→ [tex]E = C\times P\times H[/tex]  

      [tex]= \frac{(22)}{ (3600 )} \times (1000)\times (0.8)\times (44000)[/tex]

      [tex]= 215111.1 \ J/s[/tex]      

   The output power will be:  

→ [tex]P = 55\ kW[/tex]  

      [tex]= 55000 \ J/s[/tex]  

Efficiency will be:  

[tex]= \frac{Out.}{Inp.}[/tex]    

[tex]= \frac{55000}{215111.1}[/tex]  

[tex]= 0.2557[/tex]  

or,

[tex]= 25.6[/tex] (%)
