Lecture-1
What is energy
• Energy – The ability to do work • Energy is the power to change things.
• It is the ability to do work.
• Energy is used for lighting, powers vehicles and
runs machinery in factories.• Energy warms and cools homes, cooks our food,
plays music, and gives pictures on television.
• Joule - A unit of energy. One joule equals 0.2388calories

Energy is that "certain something" inside matter that
brings about some change.

Nature of energy
• What is energy that it can be involved in so
many different activities?
– If an object or organism does work (exerts a
force over a distance to move an object) the
object or organism uses energy.

Energy and Work
• Because of the direct connectionbetween energy and work, energy ismeasured in the same unit as work: joules (J).
• In addition to using energy to do work,
objects gain energy because work isbeing done on them.
Energy forms
The five main forms of energy are:
–Heat ?
–Chemical
–Electromagnetic
–Nuclear
–Mechanical

Energy Conversion
• Energy can be changed from one form to
another.
• Changes in the form of energy are called
energy conversions.
Conversion
All forms of energy can be converted into other forms. – The sun’s energy through solar cells can be converted directly into
electricity.
– Green plants convert the sun’s energy (electromagnetic) into starchesand sugars (chemical energy).
– In an automobile engine, fuel is burned to convert chemical energy intoheat energy. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.
– Chemical HeatMechanical – In an electric motor, electromagnetic energy is converted to mechanical
energy.
– In a battery, chemical energy is converted into electromagnetic energy.
– The mechanical energy of a waterfall is converted to electrical energy ina generator.

States of Energy
• The most common energy conversion is the
conversion between potential and kinetic
energy.
• All forms of energy can be in either of two
states:
– Potential - stored energy
– Kinetic - the energy of motion.
STATES OF ENERGY
1. Kinetic - The energy of motion,
when energy is being
transferred.
The faster the motion, the more kinetic
energy it has. The bigger the mass, the moreKinetic energy it has.
Depends on mass and velocity
Increase Mass Increase K.E.
Increase Velocity Increase K.E.

Why would a high speed collision
cause more damage than a lowspeed collision?
Kinetic Energy
• The faster an object moves, the more kineticenergy it has.
• The greater the mass of a moving object, themore kinetic energy it has.
• Kinetic energy depends on both mass and
velocity.
• What has a greater affect of kinetic energy,
mass or velocity?

2. Potential -Stored Energy or energy
that is waiting to be
transferred.
STATES OF ENERGY
-Object is not moving or doing work.
BUT… the shape or position of the object
can change the amount of potential energy.
-When work is done on an object,
potential energy is stored.
-Has the ability to turn into kinetic energy.
Potential Energy• Potential Energy is stored energy.
– Stored chemically in fuel, the nucleus of atom,and in foods.
– stored because of the work done on it:
• Stretching a rubber band.
• Winding a watch.
• Pulling back on a bow’s arrow.
• Lifting a brick high in the air.
• Potential energy that is dependent on height iscalled gravitational potential energy.

Energy Sources
• Non-Renewable – CAN NOT BE REPLACED IN A SHORT

• Renewable – CAN BE REGENERATED IN A RELATIVELY
SHORT PERIOD OF TIME; UNLIMITED
Non Renewable:
– A nonrenewable resource is a natural resource that cannot be re-made or re-grown ata scale comparable to its consumption
– Coal
– Oil
– Natural Gas
– Nuclear
• Once they are used, they are gone!
• These are called fossil fuels.

• Carbon-based fuels formed over millions of
years
• Made from the remains of ancient plants and
animals
• Coal, Oil and Natural gas

Energy from Fossil Fuels
• Most of our electricity comes from
the burning of the fossil fuels coal and gas.
• Once they have been burned
we cannot replace them.
Electricity Generation fromFossil Fuels
• The first stage in generating electricity from coal or oil is to burn it.
• Energy is transferred and used to heat water and produce steam.
• The steam drives steam turbines
• Steam turbine drives generators
• generators produce electricity.

Energy generation from Nuclear Power
Non-renewable energy resources will eventually run out.
Scientists think that
natural gas reserves
will only last another
25-30 years.
How long can non-renewable energy last?
25-30 years
about 75 years
about 300 years
natural gas
oil
coal
nuclear power thousands of years
Type of fuel Time until reservesrun out
Even though nuclear fuel will last thousands of years, there
is still a limited supply and so it will eventually run out.
energy resource.
It is difficult to be
exact as new gas
fields are still beingdiscovered.
This is why nuclear power is classed as a non-renewable

Problems with fossil fuels• They are non-renewable and one day we may run out of them.
• They produce CO2 when burnt.
• CO2 is a greenhouse gas.
• It contributes to global warming.
• Natural gas produces much less carbon dioxide.
• Nuclear power produces NO carbon dioxide.
• They often contain sulphur.
• Sulphur is released as sulphur dioxide, SO2 , when the fuel is burnt.
• This is very acidic and causes acid rain-acid rain – Rainwater that is more
acidic than normal due to the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides
into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels.
• Acid rain can be avoided in two ways.• Removing the sulphur from the fuel
• Removing SO2 from the power station’s waste gases.
• Both these options are expensive and add considerably to the cost of
producing electricity.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of burning
fossil fuels in power stations to generate electricity?
Fossil fuels: what are the pros andcons?
non-renewable
acid rain
greenhouse effect
readily available
easily transported
low fuel cost

It also contains plutonium, which
is a highly-radioactive product of
the fission reactions that occur in
uranium nuclear fuel.
Problems with nuclear waste
However, plutonium is also used in the construction of
nuclear bombs and poses a very serious threat if it gets
into the wrong hands.
Nuclear power stations produce radioactive waste.
The used nuclear fuel contains some
uranium, which can be separated
from the waste and reused.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using
nuclear power to generate electricity?
links with cancer
Nuclear power: what are the pros and cons?
expensive to build
non-renewable
produces radioactive waste
cheaper to run once built
conserves fossil fuels
no sulfur dioxide emissions
no carbon dioxide emissions
safe under normal conditions
expensive to decommission
small amount of fuel usedso less transport needed risk of disaster

Other Harmful Effects acid rain – Rainwater that is more acidic than
normal due to the release of sulfur dioxide andnitrogen oxides into the atmosphere by burningfossil fuels.
global warming – The increase in thetemperature of the Earth, which some scientiststhink is causing climate change.
greenhouse effect – The trapping of heat fromthe Sun by certain gases in the Earth’satmosphere.
greenhouse gas – A gas, such as carbon dioxide,that can trap heat from the Sun in the Earth’satmosphere.

Solar Energy Generation
Wind Energy• Abundant
• Free of Cost
• Un exhaustible
• doesn’t require fuel
• doesn’t create greenhouse gasses, toxic or radioactive waste
• does not present any significant hazard to wildlife
• small land area is required
• Landowners often receive payment for the use of their land,
which enhances their income and increases the value of the
land
• Each megawatt-hour of electricity generated by wind energy
helps to reduce 0.8 to 0.9 tones of greenhouse gas emissions that
are produced by coal or diesel fuel generation each year.http://www.pmd.gov.pk/wind/Wind_Project_files/Page767.html

Geothermal power generation• Energy from Earth’s heat.
• In some volcanic areas hotwater and steam rise to thesurface.
• The steam can be tapped andused to drive turbines.
Power Generation from Biomass• The biomass resource can be considered as organic matter, in
which the energy of sunlight is stored in chemical bonds.
• When the bonds between adjacent carbon, hydrogen andoxygen molecules are broken by digestion, combustion, ordecomposition, these substances release their stored chemicalenergy.
• woody plants,
• herbaceous plants/grasses,
• aquatic plants,• Manures(fertilizers, feeds)
