An aeroplane weighing 63,000 kg flies up...

An aeroplane weighing `63,000 kg` flies up from sea level to a height of `8000` meter. Its engine run with pure normal octane `(C_(8)H_(18))` has a `30%` efficiency. Calculate the fuel cost of the flight if octane sells at `Rs. 3` per litre. Given density of octane `=0.705 g mL^(-1)`, heat of combustion of octane `=1300 kcal mol^(-1) (g=981 m//s^(2))`

Gasoline has an enthalpy of combustion 24000 kJ/mol gallon. When gasoline burns in an automobile engine, approximately 30% of the energy released is used to produce mechanical work. The remainder is lost as heat transfer to the engine's cooling system. As a start on estimating how much heat transfer is required, calculate what mass of water could be heated from 25^(@)C to 75^(@)C by the combustion of 1.0 gallon of gasoline in an automobile? (Given : C(H_(2)O)=4.18 J//g^(@)C )
