It is a ratio or percentage. For example, if 1/2 of energy of an engine is wasted, it is 1/2, or 50%, efficient. In ratios, units cancel out.
Carnot's heat engine has more efficiency then the other heat engine but it is assumption. Is is not real. RGUKT IIIT NUZVID: N091528
Thermal efficiency is a measure of how efficiently a system converts heat energy into mechanical work. It is calculated by dividing the desired output (such as work) by the input energy (such as heat) and is expressed as a percentage. Higher thermal efficiency indicates that more of the input energy is being converted into useful work.
the efficiency of a heat engine measured by the ratio of the work done by it to the heat supplied to it.
The efficiency of a heat engine increases when the temperature of the reservoir into which heat energy is rejected is lower. This is because a lower temperature of the sink allows for a greater temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoirs, which leads to a higher efficiency according to the Carnot efficiency formula.
A heat engine is a machine that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy by harnessing the temperature difference between a hot source and a cold sink. This process typically involves the expansion and contraction of a working fluid, such as steam in a steam engine or gas in an internal combustion engine, to produce mechanical work. Examples include steam engines, internal combustion engines, and gas turbines.
The efficiency of a Carnot engine is theoretically always greater than that of an actual engine. The fact that it is impossible to build a thermodynamically reversable engine, which is one of the variables necessary to calculate its superiority to a real heat engine, makes the theorum practical for assessing a real heat engines efficiency only.
As a "heat engine", a car engine must rid itself of heat to continue. Efficiency of the heat engine depends on the difference in temperature; therefore, as the temperature outside reaches the temperature inside, the engine stops.
Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio - the higher the number = more energy efficiency of the unit
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.
