That will vary widely, depending on the type of fuel.
4450 kJ of energy would be released.
The energy released during the internal combustion of diesel fuel varies, but typically ranges from 32-36 megajoules per liter of diesel fuel burned. This energy is released in the form of heat, which is used to power the engine in diesel vehicles.
Burning 1 gram of natural gas typically releases about 13.6 kilojoules of energy, while burning 1 gram of wood releases approximately 15.5 kilojoules. This means that, contrary to the initial assumption, wood actually releases more energy per gram than natural gas. Therefore, natural gas releases about 2 kilojoules less energy per gram compared to wood.
Excess air in combustion helps ensure complete burning of fuel by providing enough oxygen for the reaction. This assists in maximizing energy output and reducing the formation of harmful emissions such as carbon monoxide. However, too much excess air can also lead to energy loss and inefficient combustion.
To determine the heat energy produced when burning propane, we need to know its heat of combustion, which is approximately 50 MJ/kg. For 22 grams (0.022 kg) of propane, the energy released can be calculated as follows: 0.022 kg × 50,000 kJ/kg = 1,100 kJ. Therefore, burning 22 grams of propane produces about 1,100 kJ of heat energy.
4450 kJ of energy would be released.
Combustion engines make power by burning fuel. Much of that energy is lost to heat.
Nuclear power plants utilize a process called nuclear fission, where a small amount of uranium fuel generates a large amount of energy. This is because the energy released during fission is several million times greater than the energy released in chemical reactions, such as burning fossil fuels. As a result, nuclear power plants require relatively small quantities of fuel to produce large amounts of electricity.
Pollution.
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.
Approximately 34.2 million joules (J) of energy can be released from burning one liter of petrol.
"It indicates how much a fuel swells after burning"
The energy released during the internal combustion of diesel fuel varies, but typically ranges from 32-36 megajoules per liter of diesel fuel burned. This energy is released in the form of heat, which is used to power the engine in diesel vehicles.
True. The energy released by breaking up 1 kg of uranium (in a nuclear reaction) is equivalent to the energy released by burning approximately 3 million kg of coal (in a combustion reaction). This demonstrates the much higher energy density of nuclear reactions compared to traditional fossil fuel combustion.
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
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.
Ðe investment is much higher, but ðe fuel supply costs nearly noþing relative to energy generated.
