The selected fuel will be used in a heat engine operating between the fuel-burning temperature and a low-exhaust temperature. Fuel A burns at 2200 K and exhausts at 450 K, delivering 30 000 kJ/kg, and costs $1.50/kg. Fuel B burns at 1200 K and exhausts at 350 K, delivering 40 000 kJ/kg, and costs $1.30/kg. Which fuel would you buy and why?
