What is efficiency?

A heat engine was developed that uses a cyclic process to convert heat energy into mechanical work.

The efficiency  of the machine can be calculated by using the formula:

Efficiency = [tex]W_{0}[/tex] / [tex]W_{i}[/tex] × 100

It is given that, [tex]W_{0}[/tex] = 500×20 = 1000 J, [tex]W_{i}[/tex] = 1200 J.

Now, puts the value of given data in above formula.

Efficiency = (1000 j /12000 )×100

= 83.34 %
