An internal combustion engine does 356 kJ of useful work using 946 kJ of thermal energy from the gasoline consumed in the engine. What is the efficiency of this engine?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.

Explanation:

Given;

useful output work done by the combustion engine, = 356 kJ

input work, = 946 kJ

The efficiency of the combustion engine is calculated as;

[tex]Efficiency = \frac{0utput \ work}{1nput \ work} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = \frac{356 \ \times \ 10^3}{946 \ \times \ 10^3} \times 100\%\\\\Efficiency = 37.63 \ \%[/tex]

Therefore, the efficiency of this engine is 37.63 %.
