Lesson Topic
energy forms and specific use
Lesson Outline
Discus how different energy forms are more suited for a specific use. Example of high energy to mass ratio for liquid fuels to be used in internal combustion energines.
Discuss what enters into determining energy efficiency, and how to quantify energy efficiency.
Define EROEI and the formula to determine the EROEI for an energy source.
Indicate why the highest system efficiency is NOT always the most efficient product to use, the efficiency of the energy needed to produce the product must be taken into account.
Ex; electric water heaters ( efficiency 99%) and gas fired water heaters (efficiency 60%) The efficiency of the fuel to produce the electricity must be taken into account, along with the transmission and transforming.
