It leads to the answer what energy is and why it is conserved, describes the origin and meaning of entropy, and derives the set of energy forms and shows the general systematics behind the...
“energy is a mathematical quantity that is conserved in an isolated system” The modern answer (the best that can be given so far) is surprising: “energy is the source of gravity”
• Introduce the concept of energy and define its various forms. • Discuss the nature of internal energy. • Define the concept of heat and the terminology associated with energy transfer by heat. • Discuss the three mechanisms of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation.
14 Ιαν 2018 · Introduction to Energy One objective for this portion of the course is to understand the language of energy and energy conversion. To accomplish this we will address the following questions: • What is energy? • What are the units of energy? • How do we compare forms of energies? • How is energy converted from one form to another?
In a refrigerator, electrical energy is used to compress a gas into a liquid. During the compression, some of the internal energy of the gas is transferred to the random motion of molecules in the outside environment. The liquid flows from a high-pressure region into a low-pressure region where the liquid evaporates.
Energy is probably the most important concept in physics because it pervades all the branches of this discipline. One speaks of mechanical energy, gravitational energy, thermal energy, electric energy, chemical energy, atomic energy, and rest energy.
energy conversion usually implies low efficiency and high pollution. Thus technology is a critical link between the supply of energy services and access, affordability, and environmental compatibility.
