Simple process Efficiency

process efficiency

input
output
waste

 

Overall efficiency

2 parallel processes

process A

process B

formation requires 2 As for each B

overall efficiency = (rate of product formation) / (machinery A + machinery B)

example

process A = 10 * 0.5 = 5

process B = 10 * 0.5 = 5

formation of product 5 of A + 2.5 of B

total efficiency is 2.5 / 20 = 0.125

increase efficiency by

machinery A up to 20 --> efficiency goes to 5/30 = 0.167

or decrease B down to 5 --> 2.5 / 15 = 0.167
