Question

The following step efficiencies apply to the use of gasoline in a car: Crude production: 93%, Transportation 92%, Refining 94%, Distribution of gasoline 97%, Engine efficiency 29.3%. What is the overall efficiency of the process?

Answer 1

22.86%

Step-by-step explanation:

To get the overall efficiency of the process, we simply get the product of the given efficiencies.

Therefore, overall efficiency of the process=Crude production efficiency* Transportation efficiency* Refining efficiency* Distribution of gasoline efficiency* Engine efficiency efficiency

Overall efficiency=0.93*0.92*0.94*0.97*0.293*100%=22.85798714 %

Approximately, the overall efficiency of the process is 22.86%
