Energy (Tempe­rature Changes)

Internal (Thermal) Energy -> Energy stored in the movement of particles
Amount of internal energy depends on temper­ature, materials, mass
Temper­ature -> How hot or cold something is

Efficiency Formula (Energy)

Formula: Efficient Powers / Total Amount of Electr­icity Produced x 100% = Percentage
4/40 x 100% = 100

Energy Formula

Formula: Q = mcAT
Q -> Amount of heat transfered

Energy Formula

Formula: Q = mcAT
Q -> Amount of heat transfered
M = Mass
C = Specific Heat Capacity
A = The changes in temper­ature
T = Temper­ature
In a refrig­erator, 2kg of water cools from 30 °C to 0 °C and then freezes to form ice at 0 °C. The specific heat capacity of water is 4200 J kg °C, and the specific latent heat of fusion of ice is 336000 J kg °C. What is the heat washed in this process?
Q1 = mcAT = 2 x 4 x 200 x -30
Q2 = mAHf = 2 x -336000
Q1 + Q2 = -924000
 

Listric Energy

Appliances -> Machines
Power -> Different appliance transfer different amount per second
Wratts -> Method measur­ement of the rate of electr­icity
Power rattings -> Max amount of power a device produce under normal circum­tances
Efficiency -> Ratio of useful energy from total energy
Sankey Diagram -> Diagram that shows efficiency
 

Transf­ering Energy

Evapor­ation
Conduction -> Passing vibrations (heat)
Radiation -> All objects emit infrared radiation (hotter, emit more, no need medium, thermal imagers)
Convection -> Cooler fluid sink, hotter fluids rise

Paying for Energy

Unit (Times, Energy, Power wrattings)
Electr­icity and gas are paid base on usage and measure in KwH
Formula -> KW x H x KwH (Hour)

Contro­lling Energy Transfer

Insulation -> Retain warmth inside the house and reduces fuel costs.
Air is only good conductor if it is trapped
To test insulation effect­ive­ness, use containers with different insulating materials and measure temper­ature changes over time.
Light color -> Reflect energy, while Dark color -> Emit radiation
