Compressor Efficiency Formula Elements

Variables
Compressor Efficiency
Compressor efficiency is the ratio of input kinetic energy to the work done.
Symbol: CE
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Kinetic Energy
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.
Symbol: KE
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Work
Work is done when a force that is applied to an object moves that object.
Symbol: W
Measurement: EnergyUnit: J
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
