Role of energy in the body There are six main forms of energy- Chemicals Heat Electrical Light Nuclear Sound Energy can be measured or expressed by joules or unites of hear (kilocalorie). 1 kilocalorie= 4.184 kilojoules. Sources of energy- Protein 1g= 4 kcal Carbohydrate 1g= 4 kcal Fats 1g= 9 kcal In our bodies we need energy we need energy for everything we do‚ move our muscles‚ talk etc. Without energy we wouldn’t be able to do anything‚ energy is needed for our bodies to function

Energy content is an important property of food. The energy your body needs for running‚ talking‚ and thinking comes from the food you eat. Energy content is the amount of heat produced by the burning of 1 gram of a substance‚ and is measured in joules per gram (J/g). Usually‚ fat-rich foods like peanuts and cashews provide more energy than just carbohydrates like marshmallows. You can determine the energy content by burning a portion of food and capturing the heat released to a known mass of

Talking Energy Meter The purpose of this project is to build a KWH (Kilo Watt Hour) meter that can alert the users with voice messages. An Energy meter or KWH meter is a device that measures the amount of electrical energy supplied to or produced by a residence‚ business or machine. Electricity is a clean‚ convenient way to deliver energy. The electricity meter is how electricity providers measure billable services. The most common type of meter measures kilowatt-hours. When used in electricity
Premium Energy Electricity distribution
Panels- They make electricity so you don’t have to buy it. You don’t have to use coal/oil/something else to create electricity‚ so it saves fossil fuels also. Tankless Hot Water Heater- Heating water is the 2nd highest energy use in the home. This device saves energy by eliminating the storage tank for hot water that has to be constantly heated. You only heat the water you use. Florescent Light Bulbs- These use less electricity than an incandescent bulb for the same amount of light.

"Electrical Energy Consumption" Sustainability and electricity Where does electricity come from? Most people use electricity and see it as something that is infinite and probably don’t give a second thought about its source. This is quite understandable‚ considering electricity looks clean; it doesn’t cause any noise pollution or direct air pollution. The fact is that most electricity is produced by burning coal‚ and the use of nuclear power plants. Simply stated‚ the more electricity used‚

The Energy of the Future The United States of America is in desperate need of an alternate energy source. One such alternate source is nuclear power. Nuclear power is a form of energy produced by an atomic reaction‚ which is capable of producing an alternative source of electrical power‚ replacing the energy currently supplied by coal‚ gas‚ or oil. This will help the United States move away from burning fossil fuels and potentially reduce overall pollution. Nuclear power has the potential to be

Energy Planning Proposal By Brandon Morgan SCI 362 Professor Howard Schmidt September 2‚ 2014 In this time energy is one of the most sought after resources we ask for. It powers just about everything we deal with and use on a daily basis. From the ATM to the charger for your phone. This energy costs money yet should we just throw the money towards the simplest solution at the time‚ or would it be wiser to look towards the long term use of the method of making energy? Renewable energy while it

Energy is essential part of this world. Everything in the world runs on energy. It play‚s important part in development of a country. it is considered to be life line of any economy and most vital instrument of socioeconomic development of a country. There are many types of energy in this world which are obtained from different sources‚ But in Pakistan main sources of energy are (fossil fules‚ petroleum products‚ natural gas‚ coal‚ wind‚ nuclear‚ hydro power) Pakistan is

Biomass Energy Introduction Biomass is biological material derived from living‚ or recently living organisms. It mostly often refers to plants or plant-derived materials which are specifically called lignocellulosic biomass. As a renewable energy source‚ biomass can either be used directly via combustion to produce heat‚ or indirectly after converting it to various forms of biofuel. The source of biomass energy. Wood energy. is the largest

Importance of Electrical Energy Electric Energy We need energy in various forms like heat‚light‚sound etc.The development new technology made it possible to convert electrical energy into any form of energy.This gives electrical energy an important position in the world.The running of the modern industrial structure depends on the low cost and the uninterrupted supply of electricity.In short we can say that a country is developed if the per capita consumption of electrical energy is much higher.
