Science Coursework - Energy Transfer in Fuels Planning: Some fuels contain more energy than others. This piece of coursework is about trying to experiment on which fuel (out of a selection) contains the most energy. In class we were shown how to work out the energy transfer from ethanol to water by quite a simple and practical experiment. We were shown how to work out the energy transfer by this formula - Energy Transfer = Mass of Solution x 4.2 x Temperature change Then: Mass of Solution ? Mass Change x Answer Of last Formula The constant value of "4.2" is the specific heat capacity of water in joules per gram per degree Celsius. This is used in every formula as a constant value. So now, I am to prepare a practical, fair-tested experiment, hopefully this is to see which fuel out of a selection contains the most energy. This experiment is to be quite...
