Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Learning Concept
 Identify the forms of energy inputs & outputs in a device or
system
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 Recall that energy is the ability to do work
 Four common forms of energy are
 Chemical
 The energy stored in chemical bonds
 Electrical
 The energy of charged particles
 Mechanical
 The energy of an object because of its motion or potential to move
 Thermal
 The total kinetic energy of all the particles in a substance
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Electrical Energy
 Some motors run on direct current (DC)
 Electricity flows in only one direction
 Other motors run on alternating current (AC)
 Electricity flows back and forth 60 times per second
 This is the electricity in household circuits
AC / DC current

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Learning Concept
 Apply appropriate units, measures and devices in energy
transformations
 Measure amperage and voltage
 Calculate watts consumed using the formula P=I×V
 Calculate quantity of energy in joules using the formula E=P×t
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 Power is the rate at which a device converts energy
 The faster a device can convert energy, the greater its
power rating

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 Mathematical relationship between power (P), current (I) and
voltage (V) is P=I×V or watts = amperage × volts
 Unit of power is the watt (W)
 Named for James Watt
 Equal to one joule per second

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Example
 A hair dryer has a power rating of 1000 W. It is plugged into a
120-V outlet. What is the current flowing through the hair
dryer?
I = 8.33

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Practice:
A coffee maker that is plugged into a 120V outlet has 6A of
current flowing through it. What is the power rating of the
coffee maker.
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 Power ratings on devices can be used to determine the
amount of energy the device uses
 Energy consumption of a device is the input power
multiplied by the time the device is used
 Energy is calculated with the formula E=P×t
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 James Joule showed that both mechanical work and
electricity can produce heat, and vice versa
 Therefore, the unit of energy is named the joule (J)

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 A kilowatt hour is also a unit of energy that is used
instead of the joule(J).
 Energy calculation is the same but hours are
substituted for seconds
 Kilowatts (kW) are substituted for watts

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Example
 A microwave oven has a power rating of 800 W. If you cook a
roast in the oven for 30 minutes at high, how many joules of
electrical energy are converted into heat?
 Important Reminder – joules are measured as (watt ×
second)
E= 1440000 J or 1.4MJ
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Practice:
A hand dryer is converts 129000J of electrical energy into heat
energy in 60 seconds. What is the power rating of the hand
dryer.
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Learning Concept
 Apply the concepts of conservation of energy and efficiency
to the analysis of energy devices
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 The Law of Conservation of Energy is a fundamental
principle
 Energy cannot be created nor destroyed
 It can only be transformed from one form to another

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 However, usually it is found the
output energy is smaller than the
input energy.
 Most often the missing energy is
lost as heat
 All mechanical systems
dissipate some energy, so their
usable output energy is always
less than the input energy

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Learning Concept
 Compare energy inputs and outputs of a device
 Calculate efficiency using the formula
energy output
% efficiency 
100
energy input
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 The efficiency of a device is the ratio of useful energy that
comes out of a device compared to the amount that went
in
 The more input energy that is converted to useable
output energy, the more efficient the device

A quad is 20% efficient at producing useful output energy from
input fuel. How many joules of input fuel energy will this quad
need to produce 1000 J of useful output?

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 It is possible for an electric heater to be 100% efficient in
converting electricity to heat
 Devices that convert electricity to other forms of energy
can never be 100% efficient
 Any sort of movement generates a certain amount of thermal energy

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
Learning Concept
 Investigate and describe techniques for reducing waste
energy in common household devices
Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 Increasing efficiency depends on the purpose of the device
 Worst waste ‘offender’ is heat from friction
 Decrease friction as much as possible by using improved bearings and
lubricants

Concept 3 – Energy Efficiency
 Increasing efficiency
depends on the purpose
of the device
 Can add layers of
insulation to either
 Reduce the amount of heat
lost to the surroundings
(oven)
 Reduce the amount of heat
