Embedded Energy - ANSWER-A pound of chicken contains 306 calories of chemical energy. 3,439
Calories were used to produce and deliver that chicken to you. This 3,439 Calories is an example of...
Automobile engine - ANSWER-Energy conversion device that has a low energy efficiency
Chemical - ANSWER-In the process of mining coal, the useful energy output is in the form of....
7 years - ANSWER-If the world demand for energy is growing at the rate of 10% per year, when would we
expect the energy demand to be twice today's?
True - ANSWER-True or false? Much of the energy in the U.S. is generated by natural gas
Refrigerant - ANSWER-Liquid that evaporates inside the refrigerator to "create" the cold temperature
Halogen - ANSWER-Which bulb produces the maximum heat?
Heat Movers - ANSWER-Refrigeraters also known as...
Boiler Fuel - ANSWER-What do industries use to generate steam and hot water?
Weather - ANSWER-What is the biggest factor in home heating and cooling?
Space Heating - ANSWER-Largest portion of energy consumed by homes?
Pressure Increases and Temperature Increases - ANSWER-What happens during compression in a
refrigerator?
1/4 - ANSWER-What fraction of home energy is used for lighting in the US?
Space Heating - ANSWER-Largest energy consumer at home
, Chemical - ANSWER-What industry uses the most energy?
Electricity - ANSWER-Most common energy source used in commercial buildings
Compressor - ANSWER-Which component in the refrigerator raises the temperature of the refrigerant?
HHD - ANSWER-What is an indicator of heating requirements?
Resistance to heat transfer - ANSWER-What does r-value indicate?
Fluorescent - ANSWER-Which light bulb uses mercury vapor?
Halogen - ANSWER-What type of bulbs are mainly used for security lighting, car headlights and sports
events ?
Collision of moving particle with the atom - ANSWER-How is light produced?
safety - ANSWER-What isn't an advantage of using natural gas for space heating?
Expansion valve - ANSWER-Which component of a refrigerator lowers the temperature of the
refrigerant?
North Pole - ANSWER-Where do you think would the heating degree days would be the highest?
CDD - ANSWER-What is the unit used to measure the amount of cooling needed in summer time?
Combined Cycle Power Plant - ANSWER-Power plant that uses both gas and steam turbine to produce
electricity
True - ANSWER-True or False? In a nuclear power plant, nuclear reactions are used for converting water
into steam
voltage x current - ANSWER-Electric power measure as...
False - ANSWER-True or false? Electric power is measured in terms of voltage
True - ANSWER-True or false? A generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction
Thermal to mechanical - ANSWER-Energy conversion that takes place in a turbine in a power plant
True - ANSWER-True or false? A standard steam power plant is more efficient than cogeneration
Central distribution - ANSWER-Uses coal, nuclear, hydropower, or gas powered plants to generate and
transmit electricity over long distances; less efficient than distributed generation for transmitting
electricity
Distributed generation - ANSWER-Reduces the amount of energy lost in transmitting electricity, as
electricity is produced very near to the place where it is used
Cogeneration power plant - ANSWER-Generates both electric power and useful thermal energy from the
same fuel source
Natural gas - ANSWER-In a gas turbine, what fuel is burned to run the turbine?
