    An engineer claims to have made an engine delivering 10 kW power with fuel consumption of 1 g/sec. The calorific value of the fuel is 2 kcal/g. Is the claim of the engineer  [J & K CET 2000]

    A)            Valid

    B)            Invalid

    C)            Depends on engine design

    D)            Depends of the load 

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Input energy \[=\frac{1g}{\sec }\times \frac{2kcal}{g}=2kcal/\sec .\]                    Output energy \[=10\ KW=10\ K\ J/S\]\[=\frac{10}{4.2}kcal/\sec .\]            Þ \[\eta =\frac{\text{output}\ \text{energy}}{\text{input}\ \text{energy}}=\frac{10}{4.2\times 2}>1,\] it is impossible.
