Answer :
Answer:
The net calorific value of the fuel 1 is 40000 kilojoules per kilogram.
The net calorific value of the fuel 2 is 50000 kilojoules per kilogram.
Explanation:
The net calorific value is equal to the heat produced ([tex]Q[/tex]), in kilojoules, divided by the mass of the burnt fuel ([tex]m[/tex]). We proceed to calculate the net calorific value of each fuel:
Fuel 1 ([tex]m = 4\,kg[/tex], [tex]Q = 160000\,kJ[/tex])
[tex]L = \frac{160000\,kJ}{4\,kg}[/tex]
[tex]L = 40000\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex]
The net calorific value of the fuel 1 is 40000 kilojoules per kilogram.
Fuel 2 ([tex]m = 2\,kg[/tex], [tex]Q = 100000\,kJ[/tex])
[tex]L = \frac{100000\,kJ}{2\,kg}[/tex]
[tex]L = 50000\,\frac{kJ}{kg}[/tex]
The net calorific value of the fuel 2 is 50000 kilojoules per kilogram.
