Thermal efficiency of an internal combustion engine is around ______________ percent?

Correct answer: B. 35

  • A. 8
  • B. 35
  • C. 65
  • D. 80

Explanation

Typical internal-combustion engines convert roughly one-quarter to one-third of the fuel energy into useful work, so about 35% is the closest value. The larger figures are generally too high for ordinary engines.
