Thermal Efficiency of Heat Engine Calculator

Calculate Thermal Efficiency





Formula

The formula to calculate the Thermal Efficiency (η) is:

\[ \eta = \frac{W}{Q} \]

Definition

Thermal Efficiency of Heat Engine relates how much useful work is output for a given amount of heat energy input.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \eta = \frac{250}{4200} \approx 0.0595238095238095 \]

The Thermal Efficiency is approximately 0.0595238095238095.
