energy conversion Students | Britannica Kids | Homework Help
Efficiency (%) = (useful energy output ÷ energy input) × 100. The efficiency of an energyconversion system, such as a coalfired power plant, is equal to the product of the efficiencies of each device: Efficiency power plant (%) = (Efficiency boiler × Efficiency turbine × Efficiency generator) × 100. Because energy is lost as waste at ...
