App id: MECH-18. Reference version 1.0.
How to fill it
Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.
On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.
Formula
η = Pout / PinInputs
| Name | Unit |
|---|---|
| Input power | kW |
| Output power | kW |
Outputs
| Name | Unit |
|---|---|
| Efficiency (hero result) | % |
| Lost power | kW |
Diagnose
Observations are context. They do not pass or fail a structure. See Diagnose.
| When | Observation | Severity |
|---|---|---|
Efficiency > 1.02 | Efficiency above 100% | warning |
Efficiency > 1 | Efficiency slightly above 100% | caution |
Efficiency < 0.5 | Low mechanical efficiency | caution |
Assumptions
- Efficiency above 100% is reported rather than clamped — it is a sanity check.
Provenance
- Steady-state power ratio at the same operating condition.
