Question 16

A recycling compactor compresses material in two stages. The energy transferred to compressing the material is useful.

StageDuration in sInput power in kW
initial compression401.5
final compression600.80

The efficiency of the initial compression stage is 0.80.

During the final compression stage, 18 kJ of energy is dissipated.

Calculate the overall efficiency of the compactor for both stages. Give your answer as a percentage.
