Here is some some data from Heywood's book
on "Internal Combustion Engines" with regard to the energy splits:
He starts with 100% fuel power (Energy/time)
and split the figures up. Here is the SI engine
data:
Brake - 27% (power to road)
Cooling - 25%
Oil - 14%
Exhaust 30%
Diesel:
Brake - 35%
Cooling - 28%
Oil - 8%
Exhaust - 27%
The other 3% is split up as follows:
2% for convection cooling (air past engine)
1% radiative cooling.
