∙ 12y agoEven if the friction were totally eliminated, a heat engine still could not convert heat completely into work and be 100 percent efficient. Instead, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine depends on the difference in the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the air outside the engine.

∙ 12y agoNo, eliminating friction alone won't make a heat engine 100% efficient. While reducing friction can improve efficiency, there will still be losses due to other factors like heat exchange with the surroundings. The second law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to have a heat engine with 100% efficiency.
One reason for this is friction, which results in energy loss due to heat production. Additionally, there are inefficiencies in the conversion of energy from one form to another, such as from mechanical to electrical energy. Finally, external factors like air resistance can also contribute to reducing the overall efficiency of machines.
Power plants are never 100 percent efficient because energy is lost in the form of waste heat during electricity generation. This waste heat is a byproduct of the conversion of fuel to electricity, and it cannot be completely avoided. Additionally, no machine or process can operate without some level of friction or resistance, which also contributes to efficiency losses.
No, a machine can never be 100 percent efficient due to various factors such as friction, heat loss, and other sources of energy dissipation. These factors inevitably lead to some level of energy loss, making perfect efficiency unattainable in real-world machines.
Machines are never 100% efficient due to factors such as friction, heat loss, and mechanical limitations. Some amount of energy will always be lost during the transfer or transformation process, making it impossible for a machine to achieve perfect efficiency.
If a machine was 100 percent efficient, the AMA would be equal to the IMA. This is because in an ideal scenario where the machine loses no energy to friction or other factors, the AMA (actual mechanical advantage) would be the same as the IMA (ideal mechanical advantage).
Some energy is lost to friction.
becaus ethey have friction
because they are not proper
friction and entropy the production of heat with in a system
One major factor that limits the efficiency of machines is friction. Friction creates resistance as moving parts come into contact with each other, leading to energy losses in the form of heat. Additionally, other factors such as air resistance, electrical resistance, and imperfections in materials can also contribute to reducing the overall efficiency of machines.

Lennox top o the line furnace is 98.2 percent efficient
Because friction causes a dissipation of heat energy and other kinetic energy. If you use the equation f = ma (Newton's law), where f= force, m= mass; a= acceleration, you can apply this to any machine and factor friction into the mass x acceleration equation. it will always decrease hypothetical force when applied with friction.
