An internal combustion engine has the following characteristics: (a) the combustion chamber temperature is 1900 ᵒC; (b) the temperature in the exhaust chamber is 430 ᵒC; (c) with the consumption of the equivalent of 7.0 × 10⁹ cal of fuel the engine produces 1.4 × 10¹⁰ J of work in one hour. What is the thermal efficiency of this engine?

I.    77%

II.    68%

III.    56%

IV.    48%

V.    37%

VI.    25%

 

If necessary, consider:

R = 8.314 J/mol∙K
1 cal = 4.19 J
kb =1,38 x 10⁻²³ m² kg s⁻² K⁻¹
