  • Q2. Why Turbine,s efficiency is less & so derive the efficiency equation
  • Ans. 

    The efficiency of a turbine is less due to various factors such as friction, heat losses, and mechanical losses.

    • Friction between the moving parts of the turbine reduces its efficiency.

    • Heat losses occur due to the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical energy.

    • Mechanical losses include losses in bearings, seals, and other components.

    • Efficiency equation: Efficiency = (Useful output energy / Input energy) * 100%
