👉 In thermodynamics, a calorific factor is a measure of energy conversion efficiency in heat transfer. It is defined as the ratio of the heat transferred to the work done by the heat source to the amount of heat that was initially present in the system. For example, if an object absorbs 100 J of heat from a source and then expels 50 J of heat back into the surroundings, this would be considered a calorific factor of 200 J/kg.
