UNIT 3
UNIT 3 ENERGY AND POWER
Topics Covered
  • Energy Sources Fuels and Power Plants
  • Classical Mechanics
  • Force, Work, Energy, and Power
  • Trigonometry and Vectors
  • Energy and Power
  • Impacts of Current Generation and Use

11
UNIT 3 ENERGY AND POWERTopic 1 Energy Sources
Power Plants and Fuels
FUEL a material used to produce heat or
power Most of the following are power plants
what is the fuel shown/used in each image?
12
Topic 1 Energy Sources Fuels What is the
source of all energy on earth?
The Sun is the source of all energy on Earth.
13
COPY NOTESEnergy Sources Fuels
Fuels and Energy What is the difference?
  • Energy is NOT fuel used for transportation and
    heating, for lights and appliances, and foods for
    consumption.
  • FUEL ENERGY
  • Fuels are a source of energy.
  • Fuels are the material source of energy,
    containing it as a potential.

14
Topic 1 Energy Sources Fuels
Fuel Types
  • Non-renewable
  • Fossil Fuels
  • Coal, Natural Gas, Petroleum (Oil)
  • Nuclear Uranium ore
  • Renewable
  • Biofuels, Biomass, Geothermal, Hydro, Solar,
    Tidal, Wave, Wind

15
THE FACTS Non-Renewable Fuels Fossil Fuels
  1. Fossil fuels are burned to release stored energy.
  2. Formed from the heated and pressurized remains of
    dead plant and animal life over hundreds of
    millions of years.
  3. Non-renewable millions of years to form and
    reserves are being depleted faster than new ones
    are being formed.
  4. Volatile natural gas and petroleum
  5. Nonvolatile coal

16
Non-Renewable Fuels Coal
  1. Coal is formed from the remains of terrestrial
    plants that died around 350 million years ago.
  2. Plant remains preserved in water and mud.

Heat and Pressure
17
Non-Renewable Fuels Coal
  1. 4,000 B.C.E. China carved ornaments
  2. 2,000 B.C.E. funeral pyres in Britain
  3. 1,200s C.E. underground mining developed

18
Non-Renewable Fuels Coal
  • History of Extraction and Use
  • Colliery (COLL-yer-ee) a coal mine and its
    connected buildings.
  • Coal must be cleaned and refined (improved) after
    extraction
  • South Wales, Great Britain oldest known
    colliery.
  • First commercial coal mining in U.S. in 1730s,
    VA.
  • Prior to 1880s, coal was picked by hand
    underground.
  • By 1912, surface mining was used.

19
Non-Renewable Fuels Coal
  • (2) Methods of Extraction
  • Underground Mining
  • 60 of world production
  • 33 of U.S. mining
  • Uses timber for support tunnel
  • Machines enter and extract coal
  • Surface (Strip) Mining
  • More coal extracted than underground mining
  • Exposes coal by removing land above deposits

20
Non-Renewable Fuels Coal
  • Uses
  • Coal is mostly used as a solid fuel to produce
    electricity and heat through combustion.
  • It is usually pulverized (crushed into small
    particles) then burned in a furnace for
    electricity generation at a power plant.
  • 40 of worlds electricity comes from coal
  • 49 of U.S. electricity comes from coal
