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 3: Chapter 17 Energy: Introduction to Energy and Nonrenewable Energy Sources](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dd15503460f94ac6533/html5/thumbnails/3.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
What are examples of renewable?
solar, wind, water, biomass, oceans

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?

Use of energy resources in the U.S.
U.S. has 4.6% of world population; uses 24% of the world’s energy

Nonrenewable energy resources removed from the earth’s crust include: oil, natural gas, coal, and uranium

Fossil Fuels: Oil, Natural Gas, Coal
Fossil fuels originated from the decay of living organisms millions of years ago, and account for about 80% of the energy generated in the U.S.

Oil 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

OilCrude oil is transported to a refinery where distillation produces petrochemicals
One example: TransAlaska Pipeline

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

Cutting edge research: Clean Coal Technology (CCT)Involves carbon capture and
storage, washing coal to remove pollutants, use of devices to purify air as it leaves the plant, convert solid coal to a gas (cleaner, more efficient)

Advantages and Disadvantages of CoalAdvantages and Disadvantages of CoalPros• Most abundant fossil fuel• Major U.S. reserves – contributes to energy independence
• 300 yrs. at current consumption rates• High net energy yield
Cons• Dirtiest fuel (produces particulate matter, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide)
• Mining causes major environmental degradation• Major threat to health

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 29: Chapter 17 Energy: Introduction to Energy and Nonrenewable Energy Sources](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649dd15503460f94ac6533/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Nuclear EnergyNuclear 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 www.bio.miami.edu/beck/esc101/Chapter14&15.ppt

and therefore are positively charged• Beta particles are negatively charged (electrons)• Gamma rays have no mass or charge, but are a form
of electromagnetic radiation (similar to X-rays)

1. Low-level radiation (Gives of low amount of radiation)• Sources: nuclear power plants, hospitals &
universities• 1940 – 1970 most was dumped into the ocean• Today deposit into landfills
2. High-level radiation (Gives of large amount of radiation)• Fuel rods from nuclear power plants• Half-time of Plutonium 239 is 24000 years• Safe method of storage is difficult – may be stored
in pools, or dry casks on land

Three Mile IslandThree Mile Island• March 29, 1979, a reactor near Harrisburg, PA lost
coolant water because of mechanical and human errors and suffered a partial meltdown
• 50,000 people evacuated & another 50,000 fled area
• Unknown amounts of radioactive materials released
