Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Fuel efficiency for a heating fuel is less than 100 percent to the extent that heated air is used in combustion and to the extent that exhaust venting is necessary. In other applications fuel efficiencies are less than 100 percent partly because of waste heat generation. 1, record 1, English, - fuel%20efficiency

Rapport entre l'énergie utile que l'on obtient de la combustion d'un combustible et la teneur théorique en énergie du combustible utilisé. 2, record 1, French, - rendement%20du%20combustible
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le rendement d'un combustible de chauffage est inférieur à 100 %, puisqu'il faut de l'air chaud pour la combustion et qu'il faut évacuer les gaz libérés. Pour d'autres applications, le rendement du combustible n'atteint pas 100 %, en partie à cause de la chaleur perdue produite. 2, record 1, French, - rendement%20du%20combustible
