How is energy efficiency determined?
You divide useful output energy by the input energy. Or equivalently, useful output power by input power.
How do power stations lose energy?
Heat (thermal energy)
Why is a machine not 100 percent efficient?
Some energy (or power) is usually wasted. It is often possible to take measures to reduce it, but this can't be completely eliminated.Some energy (or power) is usually wasted.

Does sound energy generate electricity in power stations?
No
What is term power?
In physics, power = energy / time. It may refer to the rate at which energy is produced (from other energy; you can't create energy out of sheer nothingness), wasted, or transferred.
Why in a real machine the output work is always less the input work?
In a real machine, part of the energy (or power) is always wasted.
What is energy efficiency ratio in electrical power consuming equipment?
Energy efficiency is the ratio between the useful power, and the electrical power used. If this ratio is - for example - 70%, that means that the remaining 30% of the input power is wasted.
What type of power stations do not use chemical energy?
Fossil-fuel power stations, hydroelectric power stations and nuclear power stations.

What can wasted energy in a power plant be used for?
Sea water desalination
What Is produced in nuclear energy in power?
Nuclear power stations collect nuclear energy, and produce heat energy and electrical energy.
Does sound energy generate electricity in power stations?
No
What type of energy is contained in a power stations fuel supply?
Renewable energy
How much energy is wasted on Christmas lights?
The power is specific to the lamp set.
