BTU (British Thermal Unit)
Unit of energy used in the US.
Joule is used in other countries.
Definition: the amount of heat required to raise the
temperature of 1 pound of water by 1oF
Horsepower Used in the automobile industry
1HP=746watts
Kilo- 1000 = 103
Mega- 1,000,000 = 106
Watt (electrical) Kilowatt-hour (kWh)= amount of energy expended by
a 1 kilowatt device over an hour. Used by power plants
and home energy bills
Watt (thermal) Nuclear power plants produce heat measured in
thermal watts

REVIEW: SCIENTIFIC NOTATION
•The coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1 and
less than 10
•The base must be 10
•The exponent must be a whole number
•Positive whole number indicates the amount of places the
decimal in the coefficient moves to the right
•Negative whole numbers indicate the amount of placed
the decimal in the coefficient moves to the left

REVIEW: SCIENTIFIC NOTATION CONT.
•Multiplying: multiply the coefficients and add the
exponents, base will remain 10
•Dividing: divide the coefficients and subtract the
exponents, the base will remain 10
•Adding or Subtracting: express the numbers as the same
power of 10, then add or subtract the resulting coefficients

ENERGY CONVERSIONS
• Middleton is a rural community with a population of 8000 homes. It gets its
electricity from a small, municipal coal-burning power plant just outside of town. The
power plants capacity is rated as a 20 megawatt output with the average home
consuming 10,000 kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity per year. Residents of
Middleton pay the utility $0.12 per kWh.
• 1) The existing power plant funs 8000 hours per year. How many kWh of electricity
is the current plan capable of producing?
• 2) How many kWh of electricity do the residents of Middleton consume in one year?
• 3) How much does an average customer pay for electricity from the municipal coal-
burning plant?

LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS

1ST LAW: CONSERVATION OF ENERGY
•Energy can not be
created or destroyed, it
can only change from
one form to another.
![Page 9: Energy Concepts - Claremont AP Environmental · 2020. 3. 10. · ENERGY CONVERSIONS •Middleton is a rural community with a population of 8000 homes.It gets its electricity from](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022071406/60fc9ffae9e18300f340f4f7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
2ND LAW: ENTROPY
•Energy is converted from one
form to another, a less useful
form results-
•Example: only 20% of chemical
energy from gasoline is
converted to mechanical, the
rest is lost to the surroundings as
heat

•Up until the 1950’s the United States was self
sufficient in energy production and consumption
•When consumption outpaced domestic production,
oil needed to be imported: Oil Crisis of 1973
•Beginning in 1998, net imports of oil surpassed the
domestic oil supply in the U.S.

OIL CRISIS OF 1973
UNITED STATES WAS UNABLE TO
PROVIDE ENOUGH PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS FOR CUSTOMERS.
IMPORTS OF PETROLEUM WERE
NEEDED TO MEET THE DEMAND.

FUTURE ENERGY CRISIS
•Price of energy is driven by the principle of supply and
demand
•Oil supply is controlled by OPEC (organization of petroleum
exporting countries- such as Saudi Arabia and Venezuela)
•Most of the world’s energy is supplied by burning oil
•At current rate of consumption world oil reserves are
predicted to last 50 years
•As supplies decrease prices will increase
•Other sources of energy will become more economical
