That will vary widely, depending on the type of fuel.

How much energy is released by burning methane?
4450 kJ of energy would be released.
How much of the energy in gasoline or diesel fuel is converted to work in propelling the car and how much into heat released into the atmosphere?
Gasoline engines convert about 30 percent of the fuel's energy content into mechanical work, diesel engines about 45 percent. The rest is heat rejected in the radiator cooling or in the exhaust, or to heat the car interior in cold weather.
What is the term for energy that is available to do work in a reaction?
Yes, of course... Work is power which is energy absorption or use over time. No energy, no work regardless of how much time is allowed.
What are the environmental impacts of natural gas?
The environmental impact of using natural gas is much less than the use of coal, diesel or gasoline. It is in fact the cleanest burning fuel we have. However, it is still a fossil fuel, methane, and burning it emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What is the relationship between coal and the Industrial Revolution?
coal was the first fuel easily converted to energy by burning it. It was burned to create steam. The first engines were steam engines until oil was processed into gasoline which was a much more efficient way to move vehicles about.
How much energy is released by burning methane?
4450 kJ of energy would be released.
Why ther is a heat surounding of the engine?
Combustion engines make power by burning fuel. Much of that energy is lost to heat.
What is caused by burning to much fossil fuel?
Pollution.
How do nuclear reactors create so much energy from so little fuel?
It's simply a fact of physics that each fission of a U-235 nucleus releases a certain amount of energy. Taking weight for weight, this is much more energy than a similar weight of any fossil fuel releases on burning.
What is swelling index?
"It indicates how much a fuel swells after burning"
Uranium fuel pellet used in nuclear power stations produce far more energy per kilogram than the energy produced by burning coal How much coal has to be burnt to produce the same amount of energy as?
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
Why fuel efficiency is important?
Fuel efficiency determines how much useful energy you get out of each unit of fuel. If fuel efficiency drops you have to use more fuel to get the same job done. And fuel cost money, so you'll also have to pay more to get the same job done. And burning fossil fuels contributes to pollution, so with poorer fuel efficiency you have to put up with more pollution being released for thesame amount of useful work being done.
What is the cost of generating power from nuclear fission as opposed to burning coal?
Ðe investment is much higher, but ðe fuel supply costs nearly noþing relative to energy generated.
What 'Manufacturing fossil fuel energy is much less efficient than manufacturing?
Manufacturing fossil fuel energy is much less efficient than manufacturing _____.
How much of china energy supply comes from burning coal?
1
Manufacturing fossil fuel energy is much less efficient than manufacturing?
Manufacturing fossil fuel energy is much less efficient than manufacturing _____.
How much gasoline is 5625000 pounds of rocket fuel?
How much energy is in one gallon of gas, compare this to quantity of energy in one gallon of rocket fuel, voila, your answer!!!
