Question:

An Arctic inventor surrounded by ice thinks it would be much less mechanically complex to cool a car engine by melting ice on it than by having a water-cooled system with a radiator, water pump, antifreeze, and so on.

(a) If 80.0% of the energy in 1.00 gal of gasoline is converted into "waste heat" in a car engine, how many kilograms of 0°C ice could it melt? 

(b) Is this a reasonable amount of ice to carry around to cool the engine for 1.00 gal of gasoline consumption? 

(c) What premises or assumptions are unreasonable?
