Question 65

A battery-powered ventilation fan is used to move air through a room.

The table shows the energy transfers during one test.

Energy transferEnergy transferred in J
to the kinetic energy store of the moving air420
to the thermal energy stores of the fan and surroundings120
to the surroundings by sound60

The bearings in the fan are then lubricated and the test is repeated with the same total energy supplied. In the second test, 90 J is transferred to the thermal energy stores of the fan and surroundings. The energy transferred by sound is unchanged.

Calculate the efficiency of the fan in the second test.
