%INCREASE ={(Final value-Initial value)/Initial value}*100
%efficiency increase={(.540 - .474) / .474}=13.92%
Efficiency for compression ratio 5 is 48%
Efficiency for C.r 7 is 54%
So increase in %age of efficiency is 6%
How it’s 14%?
When compression ratio is 5 then efficiency will be 47.4% and when it is 7, efficiency will be 54%
Hence increase in efficiency is 6.6%
