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.
Friction is the force you get when you (for example) Rub something with another, it's a force that may generate heat and even some resistance. Another example is rubbing your hands together, they get hot, therefore friction is working, without friction you wouldn't be able to stop moving.
