Summary
Heat engine efficiency
is a measure of how well a heat engine converts
Input energy
into
Useful work
or output, limited by the
Second Law Of Thermodynamics
and often less than 100% due to unavoidable
Energy Dissipation
as
Waste Heat
. The
Carnot Efficiency
serves as an
Ideal benchmark
, representing the
Maximum possible efficiency
dictated by the
Temperature Difference
between the
Heat Source
and sink.
