Difference between Compound engine and Engine efficiency

Compound engine vs. Engine efficiency

A compound engine is an engine that has more than one stage for recovering energy from the same working fluid, with the exhaust from the first stage passing through the second stage, and in some cases then on to another subsequent stage or even stages. Engine efficiency of thermal engines is the relationship between the total energy contained in the fuel, and the amount of energy used to perform useful work.

Similarities between Compound engine and Engine efficiency

Compound engine and Engine efficiency have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Engine, Gas turbine, Internal combustion engine, Newcomen atmospheric engine, Steam engine, Steam turbine, Supercharger, Turbocharger, Uniflow steam engine.

Engine

An engine or motor is a machine designed to convert one form of energy into mechanical energy.

Internal combustion engine

An internal combustion engine (ICE) is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit.

Turbocharger

A turbocharger, or colloquially turbo, is a turbine-driven forced induction device that increases an internal combustion engine's efficiency and power output by forcing extra air into the combustion chamber.

Uniflow steam engine

The uniflow type of steam engine uses steam that flows in one direction only in each half of the cylinder.
