Answer and explanation:
A) An ideal fuel must:
- easy to transport and storage.
- have a high calorific value.
B) The <em>calorific value</em> for a fuel is the amount of heat - measured in Joules- which is produced during the complete combustion of the fuel. It is expressed in Joules per Kg of fuel (J/kg).
C) From the data:
mass of fuel = 2 kg
heat produced = 48,000 KJ
We calculate the calorific value by dividing the heat produced by the mass of fuel, as follows:
calorific value = heat produced/mass of fuel = (48,000 KJ)/(2 kg)= 24,000 kJ/kg
Since 1 KJ= 1000 J, we can express the calorific value in J/kg as follows:
24,000 kJ/kg x 1000 J/1 kJ = 2.4 x 10⁷ J/kg
) can be any integer between 0 and 
. Therefore, for the third option,
