An engine has a thermal efficiency of 0.45 and a propulsive efficiency of 0.70. Its overall efficiency is

  • A.0.225
  • B.0.315
  • C.1.15
  • D.0.643

Answer: B

Overall efficiency is the product, \( 0.45 \times 0.70 = 0.315 \). Because the two multiply, a weakness in either one caps the result, which is why the turbofan pursued propulsive efficiency without giving up the thermal efficiency of its core.
