    Study Notes

    Renewable Energy

    • Energy generated from natural resources that can be replenished over time
    • Examples:
      • Solar energy (photovoltaic, solar thermal)
      • Wind energy (wind turbines)
      • Hydro energy (hydroelectric power plants)
      • Geothermal energy (heat from Earth's interior)
      • Biomass energy (organic matter)
    • Advantages:
      • Sustainable and renewable
      • Low operating costs
      • Reduces greenhouse gas emissions
    • Challenges:
      • Intermittent power supply
      • High upfront costs
      • Land requirements

    Energy Efficiency

    • Using less energy to achieve the same outcome
    • Improving energy productivity through technology and design
    • Examples:
      • Energy-efficient lighting (LEDs)
      • Insulation and building materials
      • Energy-efficient appliances
      • Smart grids and smart buildings
    • Benefits:
      • Reduces energy consumption
      • Saves costs
      • Decreases greenhouse gas emissions

    Nuclear Energy

    • Energy generated from the nucleus of an atom
    • Through nuclear fission or fusion reactions
    • Examples:
      • Nuclear power plants (fission)
      • Experimental fusion reactors
    • Advantages:
      • Zero greenhouse gas emissions during operation
      • High energy density
      • Reliability
    • Challenges:
      • Nuclear waste disposal
      • High upfront costs
      • Safety concerns

    Fossil Fuels

    • Energy generated from ancient plants and animals
    • Examples:
      • Coal
      • Oil
      • Natural Gas
    • Advantages:
      • High energy density
      • Well-established infrastructure
      • Relatively low costs
    • Challenges:
      • Finite resources
      • Greenhouse gas emissions
      • Environmental impacts (extraction, transportation, combustion)

    Thermodynamics

    • Study of heat, temperature, and energy transfer
    • Laws of Thermodynamics:
      1. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted
      2. Total entropy (disorder) always increases in a closed system
      3. Absolute zero is unreachable
    • Key concepts:
      • Energy conversion (e.g., mechanical to thermal)
      • Efficiency (energy output vs. input)
      • Heat transfer (conduction, convection, radiation)
      • Systems and boundaries (open, closed, isolated)
