Energy Conversion
1. Who coined the idea of energy conversion?
Thomas Young coined the term in 1807 when he mentioned that kinetic energy can be converted to work.
2. What is the Law of energy conversion?
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another. This is known as the law of conservation of energy or the law of energy conversion.
3. What is Energy Conservation Act in India and who passed it?
The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 was stated to ensure efficient use of energy and its conservation and for matters connected therewith. This act provides for the establishment and incorporation of the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE).
Energy Conversion
Energy has always played a vital role in human life. Any possible device made is driven by energy. From cycles, motorbikes to advanced metros, and aeroplanes everything requires some kind of energy conversion to carry out their work hence it becomes necessary to study energy conversion and efficiently manage energy resources. In this article, we will study different forms of energy. We will also study what is energy conversion and the principle governing energy conversion. Further, we will also discuss various methods of energy conversion. This article will also throw light on the topic of renewable energy and how to use sustainable conversion methods. The energy conversion process faces certain challenges and we will address them in detail. Later we will study the future scope of energy conversion and various methods to Improve efficiency in the methods used.
