Concept explainers

IC engines

The term "engine" indicates a mechanical device/machine used to convert input energy to a specific mechanical output. The input energy may be in the form of chemical energy, thermal energy, or so on and mechanical output is in the form of mechanical energy (work done). Generally, the engines classify into two groups which are internal combustion type and external combustion type, and further, these two types can be classified into two types that are reciprocating and rotary engines.

Having determined the efficiency of different above engines, you should review these efficiencies by comparing them with each other and comparing values with published efficacy data for these types of engines. I found the efficiency. I just need a clear explanation of the above theory part. φ = 0.2
Suppose that a new gasoline engine has been invented which can operate at the maximumthermodynamic efficiency (rather than the 25% or so which characterize most realisticengines). The burned fuel reaches about 2100 degrees C inside the engine and a 50 L gas tank has about2 GJ of fuel energy. If the engine must supply 30 hp to keep the car at a steady speed on the highway, how long will a tank of gas last?
