Compressor Efficiency Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Compressor Efficiency = Kinetic Energy/Work
CE = KE/W
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Compressor Efficiency - Compressor efficiency is the ratio of input kinetic energy to the work done.
Kinetic Energy - (Measured in Joule) - Kinetic Energy is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.
Work - (Measured in Joule) - Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Kinetic Energy: 75 Joule --> 75 Joule No Conversion Required
Work: 250 Joule --> 250 Joule No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

CE = KE/W --> 75/250

Evaluating ... ...

CE = 0.3

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.3 --> No Conversion Required
