Thermal efficiency
text:
In thermodynamics, the thermal efficiency is a dimensionless performance measure of a device that uses thermal energy, such as an internal combustion engine, steam turbine, steam engine, boiler, furnace, refrigerator, ACs etc. For a heat engine, thermal efficiency is the ratio of the net work output to the heat input; in the case of a heat pump, thermal efficiency is the ratio of net heat output, or the net heat removed to the energy input. The efficiency of a heat engine is fractional as the ou
