    Module 1 ENERGY CONVERSION

    Uploaded by

    Jeremy Macalalad
    The document discusses energy conservation and transformations between different forms of energy. It provides the following key points: 1. Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules, such as in batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal. It can only be observed during a chemical reaction. 2. The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another. 3. Examples of energy transformations include kinetic energy to thermal energy when rubbing hands together, gravitational potential to kinetic as an object falls, and heat to electrical in geothermal power plants.

    MODULE 1 – ENERGY

    CONSERVATION
    Engr. Judith P. Marasigan
    CHEMICAL ENERGY
    - is energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
    Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are
    examples of chemical energy.

    - can be observed and measured only when a chemical


    reaction occurs.
    Thermodynamics is the study of how energy gets converted from
    one form to another.

    How the laws of thermodynamics apply to the conversion of


    energy?

    The first law of thermodynamics states that:

    Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be


    transformed from one form to another.
    SCENARIO ENERGY CONVERSIONS INVOLVED
    • Rubbing both hands • Kinetic Energy to Thermal Energy
    together for warmth
    • A falling object speeding • Gravitational Potential Energy to Kinetic Energy
    up
    • In Geothermal Power • Heat Energy to Electrical Energy
    Plant
    • In Windmills • Wind Energy to Mechanical Energy or Electric
    Energy
    • Photosynthesis in Plants • Solar Energy to Chemical Energy
    • In steam engine • The heat energy to Mechanical Energy
    Some examples of sets of energy conversion in machines are explained
    below.
    Energy Transfer vs Energy Transformation vs Energy Conservation

    What is Energy Transfer?


    The movement of energy from one location to another.
    What is Energy Transformation?
    The process of the changing of the energy from one type to
    another.
    What is Energy Conservation?
    It means that the total amount of energy remains the same.
    Use the following diagram to answer questions. Neglect the effect of
    resistance forces. P.E = mgh
    K.E. = 1/2 m v2
    Velocity = displacement/time

    1. The object will have a minimum gravitational potential energy at point ____.
    a. A b. B c. C d. D e. E

    2. The object's kinetic energy at point C is less than its kinetic energy at point ____.
    a. A only b. A, D, and E c. B only d. D and E

    3. As the object moves from point A to point D across the surface, the sum of its gravitational potential and kinetic
    energies ____.

    a. decreases, only b. decreases and then increases c. increases and then decreases
    d. remains the same
    CLOSED SYSTEM

    We can now apply this to the example of the suitcase on the cupboard.
    Consider the mechanical energy of the suitcase at the top and at the
    bottom. We can say:
    SOLVING:
    The suitcase will have maximum potential energy at the
    top of the cupboard and maximum kinetic energy at the
    bottom of the cupboard. Halfway down it will have half
    kinetic energy and half potential energy.

    As it moves down, the potential energy will be


    converted (changed) into kinetic energy until all the
    potential energy is gone and only kinetic energy is left.
