: Your results are only as good as your sensors. Ensure thermocouples and flow meters are calibrated before a performance test.
: Preferred by most engineers, this method calculates efficiency by subtracting all measurable heat losses from 100%. This is often more accurate because measuring individual losses (like dry flue gas loss) is easier than measuring total fuel flow with high precision. Asme Ptc 4.1.pdf BEST
