Contemporary Engineering Issues: Energy Availability
ABSTRACT
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, that is what scientists have concluded from their researches on energy, however, energy conservation and management remains a priority issue to all nations. Posterity of energy is a growing concern, and several states, are critically considering measures that will ensure energy availability and sustainability. This has elicited researches into various energy related fields in a bid to ensure availability prioritized. This report will therefore explore matters as pertaining to energy availability. Prospects of energy sources, reliability, depletion, and recovery techniques will be a priority. Intensive research in the later named fields will be pivotal in ensuring energy is Available for use today and tomorrow, for the world needs efficient energy transformations.
Energy availability
Introduction
Advancement in civilization and science can be attributed to the availability of energy. Over the past years, energy has been the driving force behind various sectors of the economy, such as transport, manufacturing and processing, agriculture, etc. Great scientific explorations have also been enabled by the progress made in energy production systems that power space vehicles and satellites. Owing to its importance, human beings have always, both in the past and in the present times, sought for methods of exploiting energy resources to obtain maximum benefits. The increased use of coal during the industrial revolution enhanced industrial growth and mechanization in the production of goods. Coal exploitation also changed the transport sector with invention of locomotives and steam powered engines that required coal. Advancement in technology led to exploitation of petroleum, thereby replacing coal as the main source of energy. Petroleum has been widely used in power generators and as fuel for engines. Concerns have however been raised on the durability of the available energy resources since most coal and petroleum deposits are getting depleted and may not be available in the future [3]. This has led to research and development on alternative energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal and even tidal energy. In addition, the use of various forms of energy in homes, places of work and industries has undergone major transformations in a bid to minimize energy wastage and lower pollution levels arising from the production of greenhouse gasses. Scientists have also come up with methods of making the use of energy more convenient and reliable. More power stations are also being built in an attempt to meet the ever growing power demands by the human population. All these efforts are driven by the concern that the world.
3. Geothermal Energy Energy that can be extracted from Earth’s internal heat, for example, natural steam used for power generation.
4. Key Concept What are the advantages of using solar energy? Solar energy has two advantages: the fuel is free, and it’s non-polution.
5. Key Concept How do nuclear power plants use nuclear fission to produce energy? In nuclear fission, the nuclei of heavy atoms such as uranium-235 are bombarded with neutrons. The uranium nuclei then split into smaller nuclei and emit neutrons and heat energy.
6. Key Concept What is wind power’s potential for providing energy in the future? Some experts estimate that in the next 50 to 60 years, wind power could meet between 5 to 10 percent of the country’s demand for electricity.
7. Key Concept How do hydroelectric power, geothermal energy, and tidal power contribute to our energy resources? Hydroelectric power contributes by releasing water through a dam, Geothermal power contributes by using hot water to turn turbines, Tidal power contributes by generating energy from a bay’s water flow.
