The calorific value of Diesel is about
A. 36.5 MJ/kg
B. 38.5 MJ/kg
C. 42.5 MJ/kg
D. 45.5 MJ/kg
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
The calorific value of diesel fuel is roughly 45.5 MJ/kg (megajoules per kilogram), slightly lower than petrol which is 45.8 MJ/kg. However, diesel fuel is denser than petrol and contains about 15% more energy by volume (roughly 36.9 MJ/litre compared to 33.7 MJ/litre)This Question Belongs to Mechanical Engineering >> Automobile Engineering

B. Spongy lead (Pb)
C. Lead sulphate (PbSO4)
D. Sulphuric acid (H2SO4)
D. 45.5 MJ/kg
here the answer given is wrong because the calorific value of diesel is 45.5 MJ/Kg. 42.5 MJ/Kg is the calorific value of heating oil. so please change it.The students will learn this only and will tick this in exam and it will be wrong.
