Presentation Transcript

  1. Heat and Work: Part 2 • Conservation of Energy • Heat Engines • Second Law of Thermodynamics • Energy Efficiency • OTEC

  2. Energy in the News • Possible solutions to Energy Problems • 1) Smart Buildings and Machines • 2) Superconductive Cables • 3) Fewer Phantom Loads • 4) Distributed Generation • A) Solar Cells • B) Wind • C) Diesel Generators • D) Microturbines • E) Fuel Cells

  3. Equilibrium of Heat Loss

  4. Heat Loss • Hypothermia-what causes it? Basic physics • Lakes-ice and summer warmth. Why retained? • Space blankets-very thin-what do they do? • Why cold when standing near a window in winter? • Why warm near a fire?

  5. Heat Engines

  6. Two basic types of heat engines • What are they?

  7. Vapor or Rankine Cycle • Steam engines • Heat pumps

  8. Gas Cycle • Automobiles (Internal Combustion) • Jet Engines (External Combustion) • Where is the fuel burned? • What does the force from burning move?

  9. Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion

  10. Practicalities of OTEC • Maximum Efficiency (Carnot efficiency) • =100% * ( Thigh-Tlow)/Thigh • T in degrees Kelvin • What is more efficient? • Thermal engines with large or small temperature differences? • When will it be 100% efficient?

  11. Second Law of Thermodynamics • Entropy (Disorder) always increases Unless energy is added • Examples: • Kids room • Spontaneous heat flow (Hot to Cold yes, never cold to hot) • Waste Heat is always present

  12. Ideal Case • A completely reversible process • Do common heat engines use reversible processes, why or why not?

  13. Heat Pumps-How They Cool

  14. Why Pump from Ground Rather Than Air?

  15. Heat Pump in Winter

  16. Why Do Animals Burrow ?
