Efficiency
34.1 INTRODUCTION
The efficiency of any device or process is simply a ratio of its useful output to its gross input. The output and input must be measured in the same units. Since the operation of any device requires energy in order to produce its desired output and furthermore, since the amount of energy lost in a process is inversely related to its efficiency, the shortage (worldwide) ...
