lesson 2 sankey diagrams and efficiency

Do now!Can you remember all the

“Types of energy” we looked at last lesson?

Energy transfer (change)

A lamp turns electrical energy into heat and light energy

Energy transfer (change)

electrical light + heat

Sankey Diagram

A Sankey diagram helps to show how much light and heat energy is produced

Sankey Diagram

The thickness of each arrow is drawn to scale to show the amount of energy

Sankey Diagram

Notice that the total amount of energy before is equal to the total amount of energy after (conservation of energy)

Efficiency

Although the total energy out is the same, not all of it is useful.

Efficiency

Efficiency is defined as

Efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100

total energy input

Efficiency

Efficiency is defined as

Efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100

total energy input

Can you copy this (with title) please?

Example

Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 15%

500

Energy efficient light bulb

Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75%

100

Energy efficient light bulb

Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75%

100 That’s much better!
