Eta (capital η, lowercase η) is the seventh Greek letter.
η is the symbol of mechanical efficiency, which refers to the percentage of output work (useful work) and input work (dynamic work) of machinery.
η has many functions in science:
Thermodynamically, the efficiency of Carnot cycle.
Physically, η is used as the refractive index of optical medium; Mechanical efficiency.
Statistically speaking, eta? Used as a partial regression coefficient.
Chemically, the label η n in front of the ligand indicates that its Harpto number is n.
In experimental particle physics, η is used as the pseudo-rapidity of moving particles.
The most common, η is mostly physical, and its main contents include pulley block, slope efficiency, lever transmission, common efficiency and increasing efficiency. We call the ratio of useful work to total work mechanical efficiency.
