The efficiency of machines is usually expressed in?
Efficiency is expressed as a factor, like 0.9, or a percentage - the above is equivalent to 90%. An efficiency of 90% means that 90% of the input energy (or a factor of 0.9) is converted into whatever you want to convert it to; the remainder is wasted.
Why is efficiency less than 1?
The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can't be created or destroyed. Thus, efficiency is 1 (i.e., 100%) if there is a perfect energy conversion. Since this is usually not the case, and some energy is wasted, the efficiency of most energy conversions is less than 100% (or less than a factor of 1).
What compares the energy output of a system with its energy input?
Is it's Energy Efficiency.
What is the coal energy efficiency?
If it is burned - which is the way such fuels are usually used - the energy efficiency is the energy efficiency of a heat engine. The theoretical maximum efficiency is the Carnot efficiency; the real efficiency will usually be considerably less than that.
What is efficiency in c?
The factor?
The percentage of energy from a fuel that is actually used to perform work is its?
That is called efficiency. An efficiency of 1 (or 100%) means that all the energy is converted into useful work.That is called efficiency.

What is 'c' in efficiency rating?
The factor?
What is mean of pump efficiency?
The ratio between the energy efficiency of pumps and pump uses the energy that does. Pump efficiency is determined by the manufacturer. In the calculation of pump efficiency is 70%.
When was British Energy Efficiency Federation created?
British Energy Efficiency Federation was created in 1996.
What is the percentage of energy used to do work called?
The term EFFICIENCY is defined as useful work, divided by total energy expenditure.
What is the efficiency of a transformer?
The "all day" efficiency of a transformer is defined as the ratio of energy out/energy in for a given all day cycle.
Why can't the efficiency of a device or a process be greater than 100?
Efficiency cannot be greater than 100% because efficiency measures energy, and since energy is not made, only transfered (conservation of energy) then we cannot gain energy. Hence the energy out must be at most the energy in. Thus efficiency can be at most 100%
