,PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the fundamental concepts of energy. As discussed i
n the chapter energy is a basic concept in all science and engineering disciplines. The conce
ptAof energy conservation has also been explained in the chapter. Efforts of energy conservati
o n usually concentrate on either change to technology or lifestyle. Increased emphasis on en
er gy conservation is explained with the help of some convincing arguments.
Students should learn that the use of our energy resources is one of the major factors affectin
g the environment. Using energy resources may impact the environment, but so can extractin
g those resources, such as through deforestation, oil spillage, forest fires, and destruction of t
he natural landscape and vegetation. Later in the chapter, the worldwide consumption of ener
gy is explained with the help of graphs. Recall from the beginning of this chapter that energy i
s notAan end in itself but is valued for what we can do with it. The end uses of energy are tradi
t ionally broken down into four sectors: transportation, industrial, residential, and commercial.
Students should learn about energy resources, their limitations, and their uses. Students must A
know how large each energy resource is and how long it will last. Both of these questions ar e
difficult to answer because we must make assumptions about future technologies for the ext r
action of resources, future fuel prices, and consumption growth rates. Understanding energy u
se means also understanding the consequences of its use. This chapter will introduce you to t
he science of energy use and energy technology.
