Basic users will probably never notice the efficiency loss, but it is still there.
Furnaces use the same cycling process, which results in an overall efficiency loss of 20 to 30 percent.
But rotation involves efficiency losses if (as seems likely) some people have a comparative advantage in monitoring.
But even taking these efficiency losses into account, business is still profitable.
So we're doing the basic science to understand where the efficiency losses are, and how can they be improved.
And the resulting efficiency losses would more than offset the social gains.
Our discussion relates only to the efficiency losses arising from imperfect competition.
Two means are used for overcoming the efficiency losses caused by friction between moving parts.
Forcing the exhaust out rapidly through small ports will incur a further efficiency loss.
A typical efficiency loss in a planetary gearbox arrangement is only 3% per stage.
