A 731 KW diesel-engine power plant has the following data: fuel rate, 245 liters per hour at 22 C with a specific gravity of 0.922; coolant flow rate, 1135 liters/min, with inlet and outlet temperature of 25 C and 35 C, respectively; air temperature of 18 C at a volume flow rate of 5031 m°/hr; exhaust gas temperature of 400 C. If the engine is an 8-cylinder, 375 mm x 457 mm x 267 rpm and the generator efficiency is 93 %, conduct an engine heat balance based on the above data.
