,PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER R5 R5 R5 R5 R5
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the fundamental concepts of energy. As discussed i
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
n the chapter energy is a basic concept in all science and engineering disciplines. The concept
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r
of energy conservation has also been explained in the chapter. Efforts of energy conservation
5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
usually concentrate on either change to technology or lifestyle. Increased emphasis on energ
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
y conservation is explained with the help of some convincing arguments.
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
Students should learn that the use of our energy resources is one of the major factors affectin
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
g the environment. Using energy resources may impact the environment, but so can extractin
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
g those resources, such as through deforestation, oil spillage, forest fires, and destruction of t
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
he natural landscape and vegetation. Later in the chapter, the worldwide consumption of ener
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
gy is explained with the help of graphs. Recall from the beginning of this chapter that energy is
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r
not an end in itself but is valued for what we can do with it. The end uses of energy are traditi
5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
onally broken down into four sectors: transportation, industrial, residential, and commercial.
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
Students should learn about energy resources, their limitations, and their uses. Students must
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r
know how large each energy resource is and how long it will last. Both of these questions are
5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
difficult to answer because we must make assumptions about future technologies for the extr
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
action of resources, future fuel prices, and consumption growth rates. Understanding energy us
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
e means also understanding the consequences of its use. This chapter will introduce you to th
r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5 r5
e science of energy use and energy technology.
