The Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can be changed (transformed) from one type to another, but it can never be made or destroyed.
![Page 3: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
This means that the total amount of energy in the Universe stays the same!
![Page 4: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Energy Flow diagrams
We can write energy flow diagrams to show the energy changes that occur in a given situation.For example, when a car brakes, its kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy in the brakes.

Energy degradation!
In any process that involves energy transformations, the energy that is transferred to the surroundings (thermal energy) is no longer available to perform useful work.
![Page 7: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Energy transfer (change)
A lamp turns electrical energy into heat and light energy
![Page 8: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sankey Diagram
A Sankey diagram helps to show how much light and heat energy is produced
![Page 9: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

![Page 10: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sankey Diagram
Notice that the total amount of energy before is equal to the total amount of energy after (conservation of energy)
![Page 11: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Efficiency
Although the total energy out is the same, not all of it is useful.
![Page 12: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Efficiency
Efficiency is defined as
Efficiency = useful energy output
total energy input
![Page 13: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Efficiency = 75 = 0.75
100 That’s much better!
![Page 15: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Energy Density
• The energy that can be obtained from a unit mass of the fuel
• J.kg-1
• If the fuel is burnt the energy density is simply the heat of combustion
![Page 16: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Energy density
• Coal - 30 MJ.kg-1
• Wood - 16 MJ.kg-1
• Gasoline – 47 MJ.kg-1
• Uranium – 7 x 104 GJ.kg-1 (70000000 MJ.kg-1)
![Page 17: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hydroelectric energy density?
• Imagine 1 kg falling 100m.
• Energy loss = mgh = 1x10x100 = 103 J
• If all of this is turned into electrical energy it gives an “energy density” of the “fuel” of 103 J.kg-1
![Page 18: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Electromagnetic induction
If a magnet is moved inside a coil an electric current is induced (produced)
![Page 19: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Electromagnetic induction
A electric current is induced because the magnetic field around the coil is changing.
![Page 20: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Generator/dynamo
A generator works in this way by rotating a coil in a magnetic field (or rotating a magnet in a coil)
![Page 21: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Electricity production
Generally (except for solar cells) a turbine is turned, which turns a generator, which makes electricity.
![Page 33: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Fossil fuels
In electricity production they are burned, the heat is used to heat water to make steam, the moving steam turns a turbine etc.
![Page 34: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Fossil fuels - Advantages
• Relatively cheap
• High energy density
• Variety of engines and devices use them directly and easily
• Extensive distribution network in place
• Gas power stations are about 50% efficient
![Page 35: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Fossil fuels - Disadvantages
• Will run out (finite)
• Burning coal can cause acid rain
• Oil spillages etc.
• Contribute to the greenhouse effect by releasing carbon dioxide
![Page 36: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
A coal powered power plant has a power output of 400 MW and operates with an overall efficiency of 35%
• Calculate the rate at which thermal energy is provided by the coal
Efficiency = useful power output/power input
Power input = output/efficiency
Power input = 400/0.35 = 1.1 x 103 MW
![Page 37: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A coal powered power plant has a power output of 400 MW and operates with an overall efficiency of 35%
• Calculate the rate at which coal is burned (Coal energy density = 30 MJ.kg-1)
1 kg of coal burned per second would produce 30 MJ. The power station needs 1.1 x 103 MJ per second. So
Mass burned per second = 1.1 x 103/30 = 37 kg.s-1
Mass per year = 37x60x60x24x365 = 1.2 x 109 kg.yr-1
![Page 38: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A coal powered power plant has a power output of 400 MW and operates with an overall efficiency of 35%
• The thermal energy produced by the power plant is removed by water. The temperature of the water must not increase by moe than 5 °C. Calculate the rate of flow of water.
Rate of heat loss = 1.1 x 103 – 0.400 x 103 = 740 MWIn one second, Q = mcΔT
740 x 106 = m x 4200 x 5m = 35 x 103 kg
So flow needs to be 35 x 103 kg.s-1

Nuclear Fission
![Page 40: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Uranium
Uranium 235 has a large unstable nucleus.
![Page 41: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Capture
A lone neutron hitting the nucleus can be captured by the nucleus, forming Uranium 236.
![Page 42: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Capture
A lone neutron hitting the nucleus can be captured by the nucleus, forming Uranium 236.
![Page 43: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
FissionThe Uranium 236 is very unstable and splits into two smaller nuclei (this is called nuclear fission)
![Page 44: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Free neutrons
As well as the two smaller nuclei (called daughter nuclei), two neutrons are released (with lots of kinetic energy)
![Page 45: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Fission
These free neutrons can strike more uranium nuclei, causing them to split.
![Page 46: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Chain Reaction
If there is enough uranium (critical mass) a chain reaction occurs. Huge amounts of energy are released very quickly.
![Page 47: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Controlled fission
The chain reaction can be controlled using control rods and a moderator. The energy can then be used (normally to generate electricity).
![Page 49: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Fuel rods
• In a Uranium reactor these contain Enriched Uranium (the percentage of U-235 has been increased – usually by centrifuging)
![Page 50: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Moderator
This slows the free neutrons down, making them easier to absorb by the uranium 235 nuclei. Graphite or water is normally used.
1 eV neutrons are ideal)
![Page 51: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Control rods
These absorb excess neutrons,making sure that the reaction does not get out of control. Boron is normally used.
![Page 52: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Heat
The moderator gets hot from the energy it absorbs from the neutrons.
![Page 53: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
HeatThis heat is used to heat water (via a heat exchanger), to make steam, which turns a turbine, which turns a generator, which makes electricity.
![Page 54: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Useful by-products
Uranium 238 in the fuel rods can also absorb neutrons to produce plutonium 239 which is itself is highly useful as a nuclear fuel (hence breeder reactors)
It makes more fuel!!!

The solar constant
![Page 61: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
The solar constant
The sun’s total power output is 3.9 x 1026 W!
![Page 62: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
The solar constant
The sun’s total power output is 3.9 x 1026 W!
Only a fraction of this power actually reaches the earth, given by the formula I (Power per unit area) = P/4πr2
For the earth this is 1400 W.m-2 and is called the solar constant
![Page 63: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
The solar constant
For the earth this is 1400 W.m-2 and is called the solar constant
This varies according to the power output of the sun (± 1.5%), distance from sun (± 4%), and angle of earth’s surface (tilt)
![Page 64: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
The solar constant
This 1400 W.m-2 can only shine on the cross sectional area of the earth as seen from the
sun. Area = πre2
![Page 65: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
The solar constant
This 1400 W.m-2 can only shine on the cross sectional area of the earth as seen from the
sun. Area = πre2

The amount of energy per second (power) radiated from a body depends on its surface area and absolute temperature according to
P = eσAT4
where σ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant (5.67 x 10-8 W.m-2.K-4) and e is the emissivity of the surface ( e = 1 for a black object)

Temperature of the earth with no atmosphere?
• Remember the solar constant is around 1360 W.m-2. This can only shine on one side of the Earth at a time, and since the silhouette of the earth is a circle, the power incident = 1360 x πr2
= 1360 x π x (6.4 x 106)2 = 1.75 x 1017 W
![Page 108: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/108.jpg)
Temperature of the earth with no atmosphere?
• Power incident on earth = 1.75 x 1017 W
• Since the albedo is 30%, 70% of the incident power will be absorbed by the Earth
• 70% of 1.75 x 1017 W = 1.23 x 1017 W
![Page 109: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/109.jpg)
Temperature of the earth with no atmosphere?
Power absorbed by Earth = 1.23 x 1017 W
At equilibrium,
the Power absorbed = Power emitted
Using the Stefan Boltzmann law;
1.23 x 1017 = eσAT4
![Page 110: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/110.jpg)
Temperature of the earth with no atmosphere?
Using the Stefan Boltzmann law;
1.23 x 1017 = eσAT4
1.23 x 1017 = 1 x 5.67 x 10-8 x 4πr2 x T4
This gives T = 255 K (-18°C)
![Page 111: Types of Energy HeatChemical LightGravitational SoundElastic/strain KineticNuclear Electric Stored/potential.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649de65503460f94ade547/html5/thumbnails/111.jpg)

Volume of water = approx depth x area
= 3.6 x 108 x 3.7
= 1.33 x 109 km3 = 1.33 x 1018 m3
ΔV = γV0Δθ
ΔV = 2 x 10-4 x 1.33 x 1018 x 2 = 5.3 x 1014 m3
Δh = ΔV/A = 5.3 x 1014/3.6 x 1014 = 1.5 m
Evaporation? Greater area cos of flooding? Uniform expansion?

Surface heat capacitance Cs
Surface heat capacitance is defined as the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 m2 of a surface by 1 K. Cs is measured in J.m-2.K-1.
Q = ACsΔT

Example
• Radiation of intensity 340 W.m-2 is incident on the surface of a lake of surface heat capacitance Cs = 4.2 x 108 J.m-2.K-1. Calculate the time to increase the temperature by 2 K. Comment on your answer.
• Each 1m2 of lake receives 340 J.s-1
• Energy needed to raise 1m2 by 2 K = Q = ACsΔT = 1 x 4.2 x 108 x 2 = 8.4 x 108 J
• Time = Energy/power = 8.4 x 108/340 = 2500000 seconds = 29 days
• Sun only shines approx 12 hours a day so would take at least twice as long
