The efficiency of a automatic transmission can exceed the efficiency of a manual transmission in turbocharged diesel applications.
But "the public could afford a buyout" of those owners, Mr. Edwards said, because the efficiency generated through privatization would presumably exceed the losses to those who had been fishing inefficiently.
The detailed balance calculation shows that this efficiency can not exceed 31% if one uses a single material for a solar cell.
The efficiency of a theoretical cycle cannot exceed that of the Carnot cycle, whose efficiency is determined by the difference between the lower and upper operating temperatures of the engine.
The total efficiencies of cogeneration incinerators are typically higher than 80% (based on the lower heating value of the waste), and may even exceed 100% when equipped with flue gas condensation.
To arrive at an experimental design in which the QM prediction violates IBI we require detectors whose efficiency exceeds 82% for singlet states, but have very low dark rate and short dead and resolving times.
In May 2011, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries achieved a turbine inlet temperature of 1,600 C on a 320 megawatt gas turbine, 460 MW in gas turbine combined-cycle power generation applications in which gross thermal efficiency exceeds 60%.
At the time of writing the published efficiency of luminescent solar concentrators did not exceed 7% in practice, or about a third of the potential.
By 2012 available efficiencies exceed 20% and the maximum efficiency of research photovoltaics is over 40%.
There are tests that are not sensitive to this problem, such as the Clauser-Horne test, but these have the same performance as the latter of the two inequalities above; they cannot be violated unless the efficiency exceeds a certain bound.
