What is the Thermal Efficiency Calculator?

The Thermal Efficiency Calculator helps engineers, students, and energy professionals determine how efficiently a system or device converts input energy into useful output energy. By entering the input and output energy values, the tool calculates the thermal efficiency percentage, indicating the effectiveness of energy conversion. This is useful for analyzing engines, turbines, and other energy systems to optimize performance and reduce waste.

How to Use:

1. Enter Output Energy (J or kJ): Input the useful energy produced by the system.
2. Enter Input Energy (J or kJ): Input the total energy supplied to the system.
3. Click “Calculate”: The calculator computes thermal efficiency using the formula: Thermal Efficiency (%) = (Output Energy ÷ Input Energy) × 100.
4. Review Result: The output displays the input and output energy values and the calculated thermal efficiency percentage, highlighted for easy reference.
