Energy

Kilowatt What’s a Kilowatt ??? Power= E/T

Energy Conservation Where do you see areas for energy conservation?

Net energy: Energy given versus energy used

Active Solar Heating System

Passive Solar System: All about structure, and position

Photovoltaic cell (solar cell, collector)

Windfarm

Geothermal Energy

Hydroelectric Power Plant Hydropower

Fissionable Isotope Critical mass Hazards: Meltdown (China syndrome), storage, radiation Nuclear change with energy release

Nuclear Fusion: Ohhh the potential

Biofuel Problem: More CO2 footprint used to develop the fuel, competition for food

Liquid Natural Gas Why: Easier storage and mobility, slightly less volatile

Coal Gasification Cleaner fuel

Cogeneration Combined heat and power

Synfuel NOT made from crude oil

Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) Gas from coal

Crude Oil Hydrocarbon with a lot of energy available in it for combustion and plastics May be harmful to your health

Coal uses

Bitument and Oil Sand Oil Sand

Oil Shale and Kerogen More of the same problem

Petrochemicals
chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides, plastics, synthetic fibers, paints, medicines, and many other products

Fossil Fuel
