The ratio of the bolometric luminosity Lbol to the accretion luminosity ﹩\dot{M}{c}^{2}﹩ versus the accretion rate ﹩\dot{m}﹩ and colored by SMBH mass m. The dashed gray line indicates the input radiative efficiency of η = 0.1; for ﹩{\dot{m}}_{0}\gtrsim {10}^{-2.5}﹩ the radiative efficiency of our model exceeds this input assumption.
