Where the energy enters the system.
Input energy = output energy + losses
You divide useful output energy by the input energy. Or equivalently, useful output power by input power.
Yes. Yes. No.
With energy input
2/3 of energy input is wasted at the power station.
Energy release is to condensation as energy input is to vaporization. Vaporization requires energy input to happen, while condensation releases energy.
The energy input is always greater than energy output.
Input energy = output energy + losses
The movement of molecules without the input of energy is passive transport.
Electrical energy
You divide useful output energy by the input energy. Or equivalently, useful output power by input power.
yes. yes. no
Yes. Yes. No.
the input isand the outpt is
Efficiency = ( useful energy output / total energy input ) x 100
With energy input
Energy output refers to the amount of usable energy obtained from a system, while energy input is the amount of energy required to operate that system. A system is considered efficient when the energy output is greater than the energy input. Conversely, inefficiency occurs when more energy is put into a system than what is obtained as output.
