What is Mechanical Efficiency?

Mechanical efficiency is the ratio of the useful work output of a machine to the total energy input, expressed as a percentage. It measures how effectively a machine converts the input energy into useful mechanical work while accounting for energy losses due to factors like friction, heat, and material deformation. Higher mechanical efficiency indicates less energy wasted and better performance. It is a crucial parameter in evaluating the effectiveness of engines, pumps, and other mechanical systems, guiding improvements to reduce energy losses and enhance overall system efficiency.
