Energy Basics
What is energy?the ability to do work
What are some forms of energy?chemical, electrical, mechanical, nuclear, light, heat
What do we use energy for?transportation, heating, cooking, industry
![Page 4: Chapter 5 Energy: Introduction to Energy and Nonrenewable Energy Sources](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d955503460f94a7db6a/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Energy Basics
What is the difference between nonrenewable and renewable sources of energy?
Once we use up nonrenewable, we can’t get any more
What are examples of nonrenewable?
oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear

Energy Efficiency and Energy ConservationWhat is the difference?Energy efficiency – the amount of useful energy produced compared to
the amount wasted as heat (2nd Law of Thermodynamics); built into the device or system, unavoidable waste
Examples of levels of energy efficiency:human body:
20-25%incandescent lightbulb:
5%internal combustion engine:
20-25%steam turbine:
45%Energy conservation – making an effort to reduce the amount of energy
used, some waste can be avoided – Examples?Why should we try to increase both?

Ranks of Coal Lignite: A brownish-black coal of low
quality; energy content is less than 4000 BTU/lb Subbituminous: dull black; energy content
is 8,300 BTU/lb
Bituminous: most common coal is dense and black (often with well-defined bands of bright and dull material); energy content about 10,500 Btu/lb
Anthracite: a hard, black lustrous coal, often referred to as hard coal; energy content of about 14,000 Btu/lb

Oil A thick, black liquid formed from buried remains
of microscopic marine organisms. Deposits of crude oil often are trapped within the
earth's crust and can be extracted by drilling a well
Crude oil: complex liquid mixture of hydrocarbons, with small amounts of S, O, N impurities
Example: the Deepwater Horizon was drilling to get oil

Energy from Atoms
Nuclear energy is an alternate energy source produced from atomic reactions.
Energy is released during fission reaction when a heavy atom is split into lighter atoms.
Fusion occurs when two atoms come together to form a single atom.
![Page 32: Chapter 5 Energy: Introduction to Energy and Nonrenewable Energy Sources](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d955503460f94a7db6a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Nuclear Energy
In a conventional nuclear power plant,a controlled nuclear fission chain reaction heats water to… produce high-pressure steam that…
turns turbines which…
generate electricity
![Page 33: Chapter 5 Energy: Introduction to Energy and Nonrenewable Energy Sources](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062216/56649d955503460f94a7db6a/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Nuclear EnergyNuclear fission – splitting of an atom
Once an atom splits, neutrons cause other atoms to split – a chain reaction occurs
In a nuclear power plant, the chain reaction is kept under control (using control rods), and the heat is used to generate electricity
Most common fuel used is uranium – a nonrenewable heavy metal that comes from underground

Self Check
1. Explain why coal, oil, and natural gas are fossil fuels.
2. Explain why fossil fuels are considered to be nonrenewable energy resources.
3. Describe two disadvantages of nuclear energy.
4. Think Critically: Why are you likely to find natural gas and oil deposits in the same location, but less likely to find coal and petroleum deposits at the same location?
