Principle of Energy Conversion
Energy conversion is governed by certain principles which we must adhere to. This is also known as “The principle of energy conversion or the law of conservation of energy” and it states that
The energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but only changes from one form to another.
This means that if you had 50J of energy before performing any conversion then you will have 50J of energy even after energy conversion. Many thermodynamic processes use this principle when designing instruments ensuring that there is minimal energy that gets wasted. It also means that if you consumed food that gave you 10J of energy then even when you rode a bicycle the total energy remained 10J it just got converted into mechanical energy and some muscle energy.
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.
