Important energy units •! •!
Energy is a measure of work (force exerted over a distance) Joule •! 1 N (force) for 1 meter, 1 kg
•!
m2
/
s2
British thermal unit •! Energy to heat 1 lb H2O 1 deg. F •! 1 btu (ISO) = 1.0545 kJ (varies depending on the standard)
•!
1 kW-hour •! 1000 J/s * 1hour ( * 3600 s/h = 3.6 MJ ) •! ~3000 btu
•!
Calorie •! Energy to heat 1 g water 1 deg. C ( ~4.184 J ) •! kCal - energy to heat 1 kg water … ( ~4.184 kJ )
•! Energy in Oil •! 1 barrel = 5.8 Mbtu (IRS) •! 42 gallons •! 6.12 GJ, 1.70 MWh
•! 1 metric tonne (1 Mg) ~ 7.2 barrels •! 6.12*7.2 = 44 GJ / tonne (42 from wikipedia)
•! Energy in Coal •! 29 GJ (28-35) / tonne
•! Energy in Natural Gas •! 39 MJ / m3 •! 0.7-0.9 kg/m3 => 31 GJ / tonne

Units of energy and power •! Joule (J) •! Wh (3.6kJ), kWh (3.6MJ), MWh (3.6GJ) •! btu (1.055kJ), Mbtu (~1MJ), MMbtu (~1GJ) •! calorie (4.18J) and kcal (Cal) •! barrel of oil equivalent
•! hp = 746 W •! 1 kW = 1.341 hp
•! 42 gal, 5.8 MMbtu (EIA) •! 0.136 tonne (7.35 Mg/barrel)
•! 1 gallon gas. (124 Mbtu) •! 1 (short) ton coal •! 20.169 MMbtu (EIA, depends)
•! 1 MCF natural gas •! 1028 btu •! Roughly: •!
1 MCF n.g. ~ 1 Mbtu ~ 1 MJ

Energy consumption •! Sources for energy information •! Services that consume energy •! Consumption by form •! Consumption by region over time •! Fossil fuels 4

Services the consume energy •! What people want is services, not energy. Energy is a means to various ends •! List of services: •! Transport, HVAC, communications, household electronics, radio, tv, satellite, water/septic, industrial process, metal working, construction equip, chemical production, lighting, computing, the internet, food, construction,

Energy consumption problem •! How much energy do you consume per day? •! Barrels of oil per year? •! If you were to buy this work from an hourly employee making $10/hour and working at a rate of 100W, how much would it cost?

TV energy consumption
Bigger TVs => more energy consumption 13

Exponential vs. linear growth •! There are two time-domain growth functions that are important in long-term energy calculations •! Let: •! r be a growth rate (.01 indicates 1%/period--typically year) •! Q(t) be the consumption rate (or any other quantity) at time t
•! Exponential growth •! Q(t) = Q(0) ert
•! Linear growth •! Q(t) = Q(0)( 1 + rt )

US electricity consumption by fuel
Looks like exponential growth, Better build lots of power plants

22
Energy consumption by sector
23
Energy sources •! Mass-energy cannot be created or destroyed •! Types of “primary energy”
24
Kinetic vs. Potential •! Kinetic •! •! •! •! •!
Electric Energy Electromagnetic Energy Thermal Motion (mechanical) Sound
•! Potential •! Chemical •! Stored mechanical •! Nuclear •! fission/fusion
•! Gravitational

Electric energy •! Sometimes when acted on electrons move to unnatural places (higher voltage) •! When given the chance they will return (current) •! Holes are atoms that are missing electrons •! Positive current flow

Conservation of mass-energy •! Mass-energy cannot be created or destroyed •! We can convert between forms •! Most of the time we are not smashing molecules, so we can ignore the mass part in mass-energy •! First law of thermodynamics
