Energy conversion efficiency is the ratio between the useful output of an energy conversion machine and the input, in energy terms. The useful output may be electric power, mechanical work, or heat.
Is it's Energy Efficiency.
Watts is energy output. Watts is joules per second. Joules is energy.
Output force
Input energy = output energy + losses

Output force
The relationship between input work and useful output work can be represented by efficiency. Efficiency is the ratio of useful output work to input work. A higher efficiency indicates that a larger proportion of the input work is converted into useful output work, while a lower efficiency suggests that more of the input work is wasted or converted into non-useful forms.
Input energy = output energy + losses
With energy input
The result (ratio) of such a comparison is called the efficiency. Note that total energy output must be equal to energy input (conservation of energy); however, what is relevant for this comparison is the useful energy output.
ratio of energy output to energy input.
efficiency eta = output / input where output is the amount of mechanical work or energy released by a process, and input is the quantity of work or energy used to run the process. Due to the principle of conservation of energy, energy efficiency within a closed system can never exceed 100%. At a loutspeaker you have electrical Voltage as input and sound pressure as output. The efficiency of the loudspeaker is really only 1 percent.
You divide useful output energy by the input energy. Or equivalently, useful output power by input power.
The Efficiency of a system is the ratio (Input Energy / Output Energy). The fraction is usually expressed as a percentage.
