Chapter 2 ENERGY CONVERSION AND GENERAL ENERGY ANALYSIS W hether we realize it or not, energy is an important part of most aspects of daily life. The quality of life, and even its sustenance, depends on the availability of energy. Therefore, it is important to have a good understanding of the sources of energy, the conversion of energy from one form to another, and the ramifications of these conversions. Energy exists in numerous forms such as thermal, mechanical, electric, chemical

resource. 2. To define energy, work, heat, and temperature in scientific (thermodynamic) terms, and how the terms calorie, nutritional Calorie, joule, and kilojoule are related. 3. To describe the First Law of Thermodynamics as the conservation of energy, and the interplay of kinetic, potential, heat and work energy. To describe and apply the Second Law of Thermodynamics from several points of view: randomness, chaos, probability, distribution of matter and energy, energy efficiency. 4. To know

ABSTRACT Thermodynamics is the science of heat and temperature and, in particular, of the laws governing the conversion of thermal energy into mechanical, electrical, or other forms of energy. It is a central branch of science that has important applications in chemistry, physics, biology, and engineering. What makes thermodynamics such a powerful tool? It is a completely logical discipline and can be applied without any sophisticated mathematical techniques. The immense practical value of thermodynamics

were made and correct conservations of energy were chosen. Results and Discussion Based on the data collected in the experiment, Temperature vs Time were plotted for both plates, as shown in figure 1 and figure 3. Our plates were exposed under the lamp for a longer time than claimed in the procedure to reach a relatively steady state, because the lamp we were using was weaker than normal ones. Figure 1, Temperature vs Time for Blackbody Plate Energy terms in the energy balance equation were

We value and enjoy the sport and heritage of hunting. • Collaboration, Not Confrontation: We partner with those who share common goals and values. • Wise Investments: Our goal is to commit over 80 percent of our resources to our science-base conservation mission. • Passion & Commitment: We celebrate the culture of DU as we serve our members. The focus on DU has remained constant since it was formed by a small group of U.S. waterfowl hunters in 1937. That focus, often referred to as a “Singleness

Ayla Reau TSEA per.3 May 17, 2010 It is a sad day indeed when your children might never see a live polar bear in the Arctic or an orangutan swinging through the forest of Borneo. The only place future generations will have a chance to possibly see these endangered animals will be in pictures and zoos, since we humans are now causing the greatest mass extinction of species since the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. In the last two centuries alone the Earth has witnessed world-wide
