100 % efficiency,
and the beginning of perpetual motion.
OR you have an electric heater - and all loses are what you want.
If the useful energy output of a system is equal to the energy input, the following calculation can be done:Efficiency = (Useful energy out) / (Energy In)Efficiency = 1Efficiency = 100%Therefore, the machine you describe does have an efficiency value, which is equal to 100%. Very few situations like this exist though, unfortunately.
Input energy = output energy + losses
You divide useful output energy by the input energy. Or equivalently, useful output power by input power.
No. Work output is less than or equal to work input. Since some energy (work) is lost in most processes, it will usually be less.
Output force can only equal input force in a system where there are no losses. In the "real world" we live in, there are losses in every system, and that means that output force can nerver equal input force.
In theory, work output might be equal to work input; that would be 100% efficiency. In practice, the output of a machine will be less than the input; i.e., some energy will be lost.In theory, work output might be equal to work input; that would be 100% efficiency.

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.
Then you can say the device has a 100% efficiency.
The first law of thermodynamics requires that the energy input to a system must equal the energy output from a system plus the accumulation of energy in a system. If no energy is accumulating then the energy input is the heat in and the energy output is the work and heat out.
Work output is less than or equal to the work input. This is the law of conservation of energy.
The energy input is always greater than energy output.
If the useful energy output of a system is equal to the energy input, the following calculation can be done:Efficiency = (Useful energy out) / (Energy In)Efficiency = 1Efficiency = 100%Therefore, the machine you describe does have an efficiency value, which is equal to 100%.

Efficiency = ( useful energy output / total energy input ) x 100
