    An engineer claims to have made an engine delivering 10 kW power with fuel consumption of 1 g/s. The calorific value of the fuel is 2 kcal/g. The claim of the engineer is

    A)  valid                                     

    B)  invalid

    C)  depends on engine design

    D)  depends of the load

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Input energy\[=\frac{1g}{s}\times \frac{2kcal}{g}=2kcal/s\] Output energy\[=10kW=1\,\,k\,\,J/s\]                 \[=\frac{10}{4.2}kcal/s\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\eta =\frac{output\,\,energy}{input\,\,energy}=\frac{10}{4.2\times 2}>1\], It is impossible.
