combustion efficiency
combustion efficiency[kəm′bəs·chən i′fish·ən·sē] (chemistry) The ratio of heat actually developed in a combustion process to the heat that would be released if the combustion were perfect. Combustion efficiencyThe efficiency at which a fuel is burned in a combustion appliance when operating at its rated output; the combustion efficiency is always higher than the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE).combustion efficiencyThe ratio of energy released to the potential chemical energy of fuel. Both variables are expressed as a rate. It can also be described as the ratio of actual temperature rise to the theoretical temperature rise in jet engines.AcronymsSeeCE |
