Thermal Efficiency given Mechanical Energy Calculator

Calculate Thermal Efficiency





Formula

The formula to calculate the Thermal Efficiency given Mechanical Energy is:

\[ \eta_{th} = \frac{W_{net}}{Q_{in}} \]

Where:

Definition

Thermal Efficiency given Mechanical energy is the percentage of heat energy that is transformed into work in a heat engine.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \eta_{th} = \frac{320}{640} \]

Evaluating:

\[ \eta_{th} = 0.5 \]

The Thermal Efficiency given the Mechanical Energy is 0.5.
