- radiation
- the process in which energy is emitted as particles or waves.
- Biomass
- refers to living and recently dead biological material that can be used as fuel or for industrial production. Most commonly, biomass refers to plant matter grown to generate electricity or produce biofuel, but it also includes plant or animal matter used for production of fibers, chemicals or heat.
- electromagnetic energy
- a form of energy that is reflected or emitted from objects in the form of electrical and magnetic waves that can travel through space
- chemical energy
- that part of the energy in a substance that can be released by a chemical reaction
- Geothermal power
- is energy generated by heat stored in the earth, or the collection of absorbed heat derived from underground in the atmosphere and oceans.
- nautral resources
- disadvantages of _______________________ are that some that some can only work thourgh certain condtion for example wind power no wind no power
- work
- an engineering structure, as a building or bridge a building, wall, trench, or the like, constructed or made as a means of fortification.
- calorie
- Calorie The unit of heat equal to the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1°C at 1 atmosphere pressure. Also called kilocalorie, kilogram calorie, large calorie.
- Wave power
- refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to do useful work — including electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water (into reservoirs). a form of renewable energy
- convection
- the transfer of heat by the circulation or movement of the heated parts of a liquid or gas.
- mechanical energy
- energy in a mechanical form
- conduction
- the transfer of heat between two parts of a stationary system, caused by a temperature difference between the parts.
- kinetic energy
- the energy of a body or a system with respect to the motion of the body or of the particles in the system.
- heat loss
- Q/t=kA(T(hot) - T(cold)/d
- temperature
- measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with reference to some standard value. The temperature of two systems is the same when the systems are in thermal equilibrium.
- heat energy
- a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature
- hydro power
- is electricity generated by hydropower, i.e., the production of power through use of the gravitational force of falling water. It is the most widely used form of renewable energy.
- thermal energy
- the energy content of a system related to heating effects
- potential energy
- the energy of a body or a system with respect to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system.
- heat transfer
- the process whereby heat moves from one body or substance to another by radiation, conduction, convection, or a combination of these methods
- solar energy
- refers to the utilization of the radiant energy from the Sunis used interchangeably with solar energy, but refers more specifically to the conversion of sunlight into electricity by photovoltaics, concentrating
- Biofluel
- solid, liquid or gas fuel derived from recently dead biological material and is distinguished from fossil fuels, which are derived from long dead biological material.
- nautral resources
- advantages of ____________________________ are that they are cleaner for the enviroment and can genatrate more power under certain conditons
- specific heat
- the number of calories required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1°C, or the number of BTU's per pound per degree F.
- nuclear energy
- The energy released by a nuclear reaction, especially by fission or fusion.
- renewable energy
- is energy generated from natural resources—such as sunlight[2], wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat—which are renewable (naturally replenished). Renewable energy technologies include solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity, micro hydro, biomass and biofuels.
- energy conversion
- a act trying to converse energy
- energy
- any source of usable power, as fossil fuel, electricity, or solar radiation.
- insulation
- 1. material used for insulating.the act of insulating.the state of being insulated.
- Tidal power
- is a form of hydropower that converts the energy of tides into electricity or other useful forms of power
- Wind power
- is the conversion of wind energy into a useful form, such as electricity, using wind turbines. At the end of 2007, worldwide capacity of wind-powered generators was 94.1 gigawatts.[1] Although wind produces about 1% of world-wide electricity use,[2] it accounts for approximately 19% of electricity production in Denmark, 9% in Spain and Portugal, and 6% in Germany and the Republic of Ireland (2007 data).
