Study Notes
Prime Movers and Their Energy Sources
- Prime movers are devices that convert energy into mechanical work.
- Common types include steam engines, internal combustion engines, and electric motors.
- Each prime mover is tailored to a specific energy source, such as coal, gasoline, or electricity.
Energy Sources and Their Types
- Energy sources are broadly categorized into renewable (solar, wind, hydro) and non-renewable (fossil fuels, nuclear).
- Renewable energy types harness natural processes and are sustainable.
- Non-renewable energy sources are finite and can contribute to environmental degradation.
Energy Sources and Their Examples
- Solar energy utilizes the sun's rays, reflected through photovoltaic cells.
- Wind energy harnesses air currents using turbines for electricity generation.
- Hydro energy employs flowing water to turn turbines in reservoirs or dams.
Energy Sources and Their Conversion Devices
- Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy.
- Wind turbines transform the kinetic energy from wind into electrical power.
- Internal combustion engines convert the chemical energy of fuels into mechanical work.
Energy Types and Their Conversion Processes
- Mechanical energy is often converted through turbines or engines.
- Electrical energy is produced by generators or batteries.
- Chemical energy is released during combustion reactions in engines.
