Q: Calculate the heat produced from burning 10 kg of each type of fuel. Multiply the water converted to stream in kilograms (kg) by 2258kJ/kg, the heat of vaporization. The result of your calculation will be in kilojoules, mwater  x  2258 kJ/kg = DQwater

A: Methane because it creates more spin from the stream.

Q: Which fuel generated the most electric energy? Why do you think this fuel produced more energy than the others?
