Brake Thermal Efficiency given Brake Power Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Brake Thermal Efficiency = (Brake Power/(Mass of Fuel Supplied per Second*Calorific Value of Fuel))*100
η_b = (BP/(m_f*CV))*100
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Brake Thermal Efficiency - Brake Thermal Efficiency (in %) is defined as the brake power of a heat engine as a function of the thermal input from the fuel.
Brake Power - (Measured in Watt) - Brake Power is the power available at the crankshaft.
Mass of Fuel Supplied per Second - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Mass of Fuel Supplied per Second is the amount of the mass of the fuel that is supplied per second to an engine or to a system.
Calorific Value of Fuel - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Calorific value of Fuel is the amount of energy released or produced when 1 kg of fuel burns or any other substance is burnt in the presence of oxygen.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Brake Power: 0.55 Kilowatt --> 550 Watt (Check conversion here)
Mass of Fuel Supplied per Second: 0.14 Kilogram per Second --> 0.14 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Calorific Value of Fuel: 1600 Kilojoule per Kilogram --> 1600000 Joule per Kilogram (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

η_b = (BP/(m_f*CV))*100 --> (550/(0.14*1600000))*100

Evaluating ... ...

η_b = 0.245535714285714

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.245535714285714 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.245535714285714 ≈ 0.245536 <-- Brake Thermal Efficiency
