1 Tuesday April 23 rd 2013 QU: What sources of nonrenewable energy are you aware of? OBJ: Energy History, Fossil Fuel Activity If 10,000 schools turned off their lights for one minute it could save $81,885.

2 Thursday April 25 th 2013 QU: What is energy? Homework due Monday OBJ: Energy Notes and Fossil Fuel Efficiency

3 What is energy? Capacity to do work or transfer heat –Work is only done when something is moved

4 Brief history of Energy Use Scavengers/Hunter-Gatherers –Discovery of fire Farmers –Domesticated animals –Wind and Water Industrial Society –Non renewable resources 300 fold increase in energy needs

5 Nonrenewable Resources Natural Resource Called fossil fuels –Remains of ancient organisms Supply limited Retrieving = environmental damage

6 Energy Use and the Industrial Revolution Machinery replaced muscle power between 1760 and 1800 Transition from Wood to Coal 1850-90% Wood -10% Coal 1860-Oil production 1900-20% Wood -70% Coal -10% Oil 1950- -38% Coal -40% Oil -18% Natural Gas 2011--38% Coal -25% Natural Gas -20% Oil

7 Time line of energy usage Ancient times0 2000 Wood Coal Oil Population size vs Industrialization Time Population size Industrialization Why do you think the transition was made from wood to coal to oil?

8 Energy Quality Measure of energy to do useful work –High-quality High temp heat, burning natural gas, coal –Low quality Amount of heat stored in the Atlantic Ocean

9 Energy Efficiency Measure of how much useful work is accomplished by an input of energy –In US only 16% of energy is converted into useful work –84% is wasted

10 Why so many different types? 4 main uses –Transportation, heating/cooling, electricity, manufacturing Suitability depends on –Fuels energy content, cost, availability, safety, and byproducts of use

11 What types of energy do we use? Almost all of our energy used to heat is from the SUN BUT Most Commercial Energy… –Comes from extracting and burning nonrenewable resources

12 Energy Use in Today’s Society Four Major Uses of Energy 1. Residential and Commercial US-15%; air conditioning, fridge, heating 2. Industrial US-25% 3. Transportation US-25% US uses 10% of global oil production on cars—rest of world-7% 4. Electricity US-35%

13 Energy Use Over Forty Years 1. chartchart

14 Friday April 26 th 2013 QU: What do you have left to do on your power point? **After today you have 4 days left in the lab** OBJ: Work on Project

15 Tuesday April 30 th 2013 QU: Which type of energy was the most efficient? How did you know? **Turn in Efficiency Lab** *KEEP your sub work on your desk!* OBJ: Over tests, Efficiency, Natural Gas

16 Fossil Fuel Usage Are we using our fossil fuels efficiently?

17 Why not? While the use of oil for heat is long- established, heating by natural gas is a more recent social development. Oil is much more stable than natural gas: It does not carry as much of a risk for leakage and explosions. BUT oil produces more pollutants. Cost of Nat. Gas is decreasing but coal is more cost efficient.

18 Uses of Natural Gas Natural gas is used to produce steel, glass, paper, clothing, brick, electricity etc. –Products that use natural gas as a raw material are: paints, fertilizer, plastics, antifreeze, dyes, photographic film, medicines, and explosives. Slightly more than half of the homes in the US use natural gas as main heating fuel. –Natural gas is also used in homes to fuel stoves, water heaters, clothes dryers, and other household appliances.

19 WedNesday May 1 st 2013 QU: What are the four major uses of energy in today's society? *Take out Natural Gas Work* **HW due tomorrow** OBJ: Nat. Gas, Coal, Petroleum, Uranium “In a single human cell there are over 100000 coded messages known as genes”

20 Energy Use in Today’s Society Four Major Uses of Energy 1. Residential and Commercial US-15%; air conditioning, fridge, heating 2. Industrial US-25% 3. Transportation US-25% US uses 10% of global oil production on cars—rest of world-7% 4. Electricity US-35%

21 Thursday May 2 nd 2013 QU: Which type of fossil fuel (so far) have you known the least about? *Non Renewable Energy Test Tuesday May 7 th * **Turn in responses to your article to the HW bin** OBJ: Turn in HW, 5mins for petrol/uranium, Propane, Practice Problems

22 Propane in a Nutshell Created from natural gas and petroleum Colorless and odorless –Again mercaptan is added

23 Propane in a Nutshell 10% of US propane is imported 45% of propane extracted from crude oil 45% of propane extracted from natural gas –Natural gas is about 5% propane

24 Propane in a Nutshell Propane is a clean-burning fuel –Used in homes, on farms, businesses, industry Mostly rural areas

25 Propane in a Nutshell US uses more propane than any other country 90% of propane used is produced in the US

26 Friday May 3 rd 2013 QU: What has been the biggest challenge you have faced with the project (so far)? *Non Renewable Energy Test Tuesday May 7 th * OBJ: Work on your project “In a single human cell there are over 100000 coded messages known as genes”

27 Monday May 6 th 2013 QU: What types of fossil fuel is propane derived from? *Non Renewable Energy Test Tuesday May 7 th * OBJ: Review for Non Renewable Energy Test “In a single human cell there are over 100000 coded messages known as genes”

28 Tuesday May 7 th 2013 QU: How did you study for this test? *Non Renewable Energy Test Today* **Turn in your EC Review to HW bin** OBJ: Non Renewable Energy Test “In a single human cell there are over 100000 coded messages known as genes”
