Figure of Merit for Liquefaction Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Figure of merit for liquefaction = Theotrical minimum work requirement/Actual work requirement for the system
FOM = W_i/W
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Figure of merit for liquefaction - The figure of merit for liquefaction is a parameter for the comparison of different fluids in the same system.
Theotrical minimum work requirement - (Measured in Joule) - The Theotrical minimum work requirement is the minimum work required calculated theoretically for a given gas.
Actual work requirement for the system - (Measured in Joule) - Actual work requirement for the system is the actual work required for the system to perform.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Theotrical minimum work requirement: 12 Joule --> 12 Joule No Conversion Required
Actual work requirement for the system: 36 Joule --> 36 Joule No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

FOM = W_i/W --> 12/36

Evaluating ... ...

FOM = 0.333333333333333
