Overall Efficiency given Boiler, Cycle, Turbine, Generator, and Auxiliary Efficiency Calculator

Calculate Overall Efficiency











Formula

The formula to calculate the Overall Efficiency (ηo) is:

\[ \eta_o = \eta_B \cdot \eta_C \cdot \eta_T \cdot \eta_G \cdot \eta_{Aux} \]

Definition

Overall Efficiency is defined as the ratio of overall net work output to the input.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \eta_o = 0.68 \cdot 0.54 \cdot 0.75 \cdot 0.65 \cdot 0.8 \approx 0.143208 \]

The Overall Efficiency is approximately 0.143208.
