Commonly Used Equations
    A few of the most commonly used equations used when dealing with engines are the equation for effeciency and the coefficient of performance.  The effeciency of an engine (E) can be best described as "the energy we get out of an engine divided by the energy we put into the engine".


 


    We can also evaluate this as:

    The coeffiecient of performance is the inverse of the effeciency of an engine:
