Energy transfer (change) A lamp turns electrical energy into heat and light energy
Sankey Diagram A Sankey diagram helps to show how much light and heat energy is produced
Sankey Diagram The thickness of each arrow is drawn to scale to show the amount of energy
Sankey Diagram Notice that the total amount of energy before is equal to the total amount of energy after (conservation of energy)
Efficiency Although the total energy out is the same, not all of it is useful.
Efficiency Efficiency is defined as Efficiency (%) = useful energy output x 100 total energy input
Example Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 15% 500
Energy efficient light bulb Efficiency = 75 x 100 = 75% 100 That’s much better!
More complex examples
You then did some questions!
Thermal energy transfer
Thermal Energy Transfer
Heat can travel by Convection
Heat can travel by Convection A hot fluid expands, so is less dense, so rises. Cold fluid takes its place. A convection current can be formed.
Examples of Convection
Heat cannot travel in solids by convection. Why?
Draw the sentence A fluid is a liquid or gas When a fluid is heated it expands This makes it less dense than the surrounding fluid The heated fluid rises because it is less dense Cooler fluid takes its place In this way a circular convection current can be formed Convection currents can occur in kettles Convection currents also cause wind.
