Question: 

The following observations were made during the test on an oil engine BP of engine = 31.5 kW, fuel used = 10.5 kg/hr, C.V. of fuel = 43,000 kJ/kg, jacket circulating water = 540 kg/hr, rise in temperature of cooling water = 56°C, water circulated through exhaust gas calorimeter = 545 kg/hr, rise in temperature of water passing through exhaust gas calorimeter = 36°C, temperature of exhaust gas leaving the exhaust gas calorimeter = 82°C, A : F ratio = 19:1, ambient temperature = 17°C, Cp for exhaust gases = 1 kJ/kg°k. Draw up the heat balance sheet on minute basis.
