The thermodynamic concepts of the Rankine cycle did give engineers the understanding needed to calculate efficiency which aided the development of modern high pressure and temperature boilers and the steam turbine.

Cold, calculating efficiency isn't always the best reaction in a tight situation.

Operators of hydroelectric plants will compare the total electrical energy produced with the theoretical potential energy of the water passing through the turbine to calculate efficiency.

The Triple Two's and the Texans moved forward with calculating efficiency until they had the Germans in what appeared to be a final rout.

By measuring the temperature of the room while a heat pump is running, researchers can calculate the heating and cooling capacity and efficiency of the unit.

Theoretically, it is easy to calculate ecological efficiency using the mathematical relationships above.

The idea that only distance matters in calculating efficiency "is an old myth," he said.

Epsilon is the Greek symbol used to calculate efficiency, Afra said in reply to Jeff's unspoken question.

It is also useful because it takes into consideration returns to scale in calculating efficiency, allowing for the concept of increasing or decreasing efficiency based on size and output levels.

Since some algorithms can have infinite sizes asymptotic notation must be used to calculate efficiency.
