Energy resources and energy transfers - energy transfers Flashcards
Name the 8 energy stores
Chemical, kinetic, gravitational, elastic, thermal, magnetic, electrostatic,
nuclear
Name the 4 energy transfers
mechanically, electrically, by heating, by radiation (light and sound)
What is the principal of conservation of energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change from one form to another
What is the relationship between efficiency, useful energy output and total energy output
useful energy output
Efficiency = ———————— x 100%
total energy input
How could thermal energy transfer by…
by conduction, convection and radiation
What is the role of convection in everyday phenomena

how are emission and absorption of radiation related to surface and temperature
Light, shiny surfaces are good reflectors of IR and so are poor at absorbing ??????????
practical: investigate thermal energy transfer by conduction, convection and radiation
Second picture?

What are ways of reducing unwanted energy transfer
Fit loft insulation (the roof).
Use double glazing (windows).
Use cavity wall insulation (walls).
Fit carpets (floors).
