,PURPOSEANDPERSPECTIVEOF THE CHAPTER B

B BG BG




The purpose of this chapter is to examine the fundamental concepts of energy. As
bg bg b g bg b g bg bg bg bg bg bg b g b g



discussed i n the chapter energy is a basic concept in all science and engineering
b g bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg



disciplines. The concept of energy conservation has also been
b g b g bg b g b g b g b g b g b g



b explained in the chapter. Efforts of energy conservatio n usually concentrate
g b g b g bg b g b g b g b g bg bg bg



on either change to technology or lifestyle. Increased emphasis on ener gy
bg bg bg bg b g bg bg bg bg bg bg bg



conservation is explained with the help of some convincing arguments.

Students should learn that the use of our energy resources is one of the
b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g



b gmajor factors affectin g the environment. Using energy resources may impact
b g bg b g bg bg b g b g b g b g b g



b gthe environment, but so can extractin g those resources, such as through deforestation,
b g bg b g bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg



oil spillage, forest fires, and destruction of t he natural landscape and vegetation. Later in
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg



the chapter, the worldwide consumption of ener gy is explained with the help of
bg bg bg bg bg b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g



b ggraphs. Recall from the beginning of this chapter that energy is not an end in
b g bg b g bg b g bg b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g



itself but is valued for what we can do with it. The end uses of energy are
b g b g b g b g b g b g b g bg b g b g b g b g bg b g b g b g b g



b gtradit ionally broken down into four sectors: transportation, industrial, residential,
b g b g b g b g b g b g b g bg bg



and commercial.

Students should learn about energy resources, their limitations, and their uses. Students
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg



must know how large each energy resource is and how long
b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g b g



b it will last. Both of these questions ar e difficult to answer because we
g b g b g b g b g bg b g b g bg bg bg bg bg bg



must make assumptions about future technologies for the ext raction of resources,
bg bg bg bg bg b g bg bg bg bg bg bg



future fuel prices, and consumption growth rates. Understanding energy u se means
bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg bg



also understanding the consequences of its use. This chapter will introduce you to

t he science of energy use and energy technology.
