Is volumetric efficiency defined as the discharge fluid divided by the amount of leakage?

Volumetric efficiency is defined as the actual volume of fluid discharged by a system compared to the theoretical volume that could be discharged. It measures the effectiveness of a system in delivering fluid, accounting for factors such as leakage and other inefficiencies in fluid movement.

The statement in question incorrectly defines volumetric efficiency as the discharge fluid divided by the amount of leakage. Instead, volumetric efficiency is typically calculated as the actual fluid flow rate divided by the theoretical flow rate. Leakage would be a component that negatively impacts efficiency, but it is not the divisor in the equation for volumetric efficiency. Thus, saying that volumetric efficiency is based on the ratio of discharge fluid to leakage misrepresents the concept, leading to the conclusion that the correct answer is that the statement is false.
