Results

η = useful/total.
80%

At a glance:η = useful output / total input. Complements thermal-efficiency and work.

Formula

η = output / input.

$$\eta = \dfrac{\text{useful output}}{\text{total input}} \times 100\%$$
$$\eta_{\text{Carnot}} = 1 - \dfrac{T_c}{T_h}$$

How to Use

  1. Enter output and input.
  2. The tool returns efficiency.

Case Studies

output=80, input=100

η = 0.8 (80%).

FAQ

Can exceed 1?

No — by energy conservation η ≤ 1 (≤100%).
