Thermal Efficiency given Waste Energy Calculator

Calculate Thermal Efficiency





Formula

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

\[ \eta_{th} = 1 - \frac{Q_{out}}{Q_{in}} \]

Where:

Definition

Thermal efficiency given Waste 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:

\[ \eta_{th} = 1 - \frac{340}{640} \]

Evaluating:

\[ \eta_{th} = 0.46875 \]

The Thermal Efficiency given the Waste Energy is 0.46875.
