ENERGY. Energy cannot be created or destroyed , it can only change its form of existence. Energy types. Chemical energy – stored in chemical bonds and can be released upon chemical reaction Heat energy – transferred between bodies by thermal interactions

Energytypes • Chemicalenergy – storedinchemicalbonds and canbereleaseduponchemicalreaction • Heatenergy – transferredbetweenbodiesbythermalinteractions • Mass energy – equivalenceof mass and energydescribedas E = m c2 • Kineticenergy – energythatobjectposessesduetoitsmotion E = ½ m v2 • Potentialenergy – energythatobjectposessesduetoitsposition E = m g H • Electricenergy – E = q V • Magneticenergy • Nuclearenergy • Etc.
Energyquality and exergy • Lawsofthermodynamics: 1. The heat, Q, added to a system equals the change in the internal energy, U, of the system plus the work, W, done by the system Q = U + W 2. It is impossible to remove thermal energy from a system at a single temperature and convert it to mechanical work without changing the system surroundings in some other way • Exergy - the useful work that can be extracted from a system which executes a loss-free process between its initial state and a dead state • Dead state – stateofequilibriumwiththesurroundings
