3 Definitions Energy: the ability to carry out work, unit Joule [J=kg m²/s²], one J corresponds to the energy needed to lift a mass of 100g by one meter Energy forms: Mechanical energy Chemical energy Electric energy Thermal energy Radiant energy Nuclear energy Exergy: working ability of energy Anergy: share of energy which cannot be transformed into another form Energy = Exergy + Anergy Power: work done or energy converted per unit of time, unit Watt [W=J/s] 3

4 Main theorems of thermodynamics 1 st Theorem: In a closed system, the amount of energy can not be altered, but is transformed between different forms of energy. Energy can not be consumed or saved, only transformed 2 nd Theorem (entropy law): Energy forms in a closed system (potential or kinetic energy, high temperature heat, etc.) are transformed into lower quality, i.e. uniformly distributed heat (e.g. at ambient temperature). Entropy in a closed system will increase The laws are only valid for closed systems! 4

5 Primary versus Secondary versus Tertiary Energy Primary energy Secondary energy Tertiary energy Fossil fuels Nuclear fuels Solar radiation Biomass Wind Tides Geothermie Firewood, peat Lignite, hard coal Fuel oil, diesel, gasoline Biomass Electricity Steam, hot water Compressed air Cold air Light Heat Cold Mechanical energy 5

7 Energy sources and use Non-renewable energy Renewable energy Coal Crude oil Natural gas Uranium Geo thermal Solar energy Gravitation Hard coal or lignite briquette Gasolin Kerosen Fuel oil Pre-parated products Enriched uranium,mi xed oxides Radiationw ind biomass sea waves Tides Power plant, steel industry Power plant, car, plane Power plant, car, mobile uses Power plant Power plant, heat plant Solarcell, hydro, bio-mass power plant Tidal power plant Electric energy Thermal energy Chemical energy Mechanical energy Source: Kaltschmitt et al. (2003) 7

8 Transformation and Efficiency Efficiency (factor): the ratio of usable energy output to total energy input outputt ηefficiency = inputt Watch out what is used, i.e. energy or power, one hour or a time period Carnot efficiency: highest theoretic possible efficiency of an ideal Carnot cycle η Carnot Thigh Tlow T = = 1 T T high T low is normally limited by the ambient temperature (>> 0 K) low high 8

9 Energy Conversion Efficiency Type of transformation Power production - Lignite fueled - Hard coal - Gas turbines - CCGT - Run-of-river - Wind mills - Solar cells Efficiency factor Steam generation Warm water generation using solar panels Electric heating Otto (gasoline) engine Diesel engine Electric Engine Bulb Fluorescent lamp Fuel cell

31 1kWh 1kWh??? What one can do with 1 kwh and 1 ton of water: 1Nm = 1J = 1Ws 1kWh = 1 * 10 3 * 3600Ws = 3,6 * 10 6 Ws Lifting Driving Heating (1) E = m * g * h h = E 3,6*10 = m * g 1000*9,81 6 = 367m (2) E = v = 2 m * v 2 2 * E m = 3 10 km = 84,9 * 3,6 *10 2 *3,6 * = 305km/ h = 84,9m / s (3) E = m * cp * t E 3,6 *10 t = = m * c 1000* kcal = 4,19kJ 6 = 0,86K 1 ton can be lifted by 367 m. 1 ton can be accelerated to 305 km/h! 1 ton water can ca heated by 0,86 Kelvin! 31

32 Oil price shock? Or: What if all liquids would be sold in barrels Price of Oil: around??? $ per barrel 1 barrel = 159 l Price of milk in a supermarket? drinking in the Mensa? beer in a bar? good wine? fuel at a station? Chanel N 5? 32
