How is the
efficiency
of an
energy
transfer calculated?
By dividing the
total
useful output energy by the total input energy
View source
What does
efficiency
represent in an energy transfer process?
The proportion of
input energy
that becomes useful
output energy
View source
What is the
equation
for efficiency?
Efficiency
=

What happens to the
units
when calculating
efficiency
?
Efficiency has no units when dividing
energy values
View source
How can
efficiency
be expressed as a
percentage
?
By multiplying the efficiency value by
100
View source
If an oven uses 80 K of electrical energy and supplies 30 K of thermal energy, what is the
efficiency
?
0.375
or
37.5%
View source
What is the first step in calculating the
efficiency
of the oven?
Write down the key information and check the
units
View source
How do you substitute values into the efficiency
formula
?
By using the formula:
Efficiency
=
Useful output energy
/
Input energy
View source
What is the
input energy
of the
oven
in the example?
80 K
View source
What is the
useful output energy
of the
oven
in the example?
30 K
View source
How can
efficiencies
be calculated using
power
?
By dividing the
total
useful output power
by the total
input power
View source
What units are used for both useful output and total input power?
Watts
View source
What does the
efficiency
formula
become when dividing by time?
Efficiency =
Total useful output power
/
Total input power
View source
If a low energy light bulb is 65%
efficient
and requires an input power of
12 Watts
, what is the useful output power?
8 Watts
View source
How do you convert
efficiency
from a
percentage
to a
decimal
?
By dividing the percentage by
100
View source
What is the rearranged formula to find
useful output power
?
Useful output power =
Efficiency
×
Total input power
View source
How do you calculate the
useful output power
from the rearranged
formula
?
By substituting the
values
into the formula
