15. A locomotive is tested with a dynamometer car coupled between the tender and the train. Traveling over a level track at a speed of 130 kmply,the dynamometer registers 10615 kg. What horsepower is the locomotive then delivering? On an extended run the dynamometer integrator gives 2945 kw hr, and over the same stretch 6215 kg of 27920 J/g coal were consumed. Calculate the thermal efficiency of the locomotive.
