Answer

$\eta_{turbine}=\frac{W_{mecanic}}{W_{fluid}}$ $\eta_{generator}=\frac{W_{electric}}{W_{mecanic}}$ $\eta_{turbine-generator}=\frac{W_{electric}}{W_{fluid}}$

Work Step by Step

The turbine efficiency: $\eta_{turbine}=\frac{W_{mecanic}}{W_{fluid}}$ The generator efficiency: $\eta_{generator}=\frac{W_{electric}}{W_{mecanic}}$ Then the turbine-generator efficiency is: $\eta_{turbine-generator}=\eta_{turbine}*\eta_{generator}=\frac{W_{electric}}{W_{fluid}}$
