Use Deductive problem solving please. (50 points) Determine what the price of fuel in ($)/(m^(3)) needs to be in order to receive a 25% return on investment when purchasing a car with an
optimum efficiency of 40%. The budget car has an efficiency of 20%. The cars operate on natural gas, where R=0.5182[k(J)/(k)g-K], and with a
lower heating value of 50,050[k(J)/(k)g]. The fuel enters the engine at 100[kPa] and 300[K]. The engine has a maximum net power output of 100
[kW]. Based on initial cost quotes, the cost coefficient is $(100)/(k)W and the exponent is 1.7. The adiabatic flame temperature (T_(H)) is 2,000[K]T_(L)300[K]. Over its 15 year life, the car overcomes an average force of 1,500[N] while traveling 20,000[kilometers
each year]. Tip: During your calculations, use algebra to solve for operating costs from the definition of cost per unit of fuel and substitute in the
equation for savings.
