Energy FUN damentals. The Good News. 1 st law of thermodynamics. “The increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings.”. HUH?.

The Good News 1st law of thermodynamics “The increase in the internal energy of a system is equal to the amount of energy added by heating the system, minus the amount lost as a result of the work done by the system on its surroundings.” HUH? http://mooreslore.corante.com/archives/images/homer%20simpson.gif
The Good News The amount of energy in the universe is constant. Energy is neither created nor destroyed

Energy Unit Conversions • 1 Btu = 1055 J J (Joules) • 1 Btu = 252 cal Btu (British thermal units) • 1 Cal = 1,000 cal cal (calories) • 1 Cal = 3.97 Btu Cal (food calories) • 1 kWh = 3413 Btu kWh (kiloWatthours) • 1 therm = 100,000 Btu
Energy Equivalents • 1 barrel (bbl) crude oil = 5,800,000 Btu • 1 gal gasoline = 124,000 Btu • 1 ton (2,000 lbs) bituminous coal = 25,000,000 Btu • 1,000 cubic feet natural gas = 1,035,000 Btu • 1 gram Uranium (235U): Nuclear Energy = 78,400,000 Btu • 1 gram Deuterium (2H): Sun Energy = 225,000,000 Btu • 1 mass-gram any solid: E= mc2 energy = 85,000,000,000 Btu
The Bad News What?
The Bad News Energy always flows downhill (from a hot body to a cold one)
The Bad News The disorder of a system can never decrease
