He tells you the engine must provide 192 hp of output power to the airplane to operate it safely. The fuel has a heat of combustion of 4.03 ✕ 10⁷ J/L. He has an exhaust and cooling system in his scrap pile that he wants to use for the new engine. This system can transfer energy out of an engine at a rate of 187 kW. His experiments on the engine have shown that it takes in 0.280 mL of fuel for each revolution of the crankshaft.
