Resumo de Recurso
GCSE AQA Physics 1 Energy & Efficiency
In the home
Most effective insulation - biggest annual saving
Eventually money saved = initial cost
Most cost-effective - often cheapest, short payback time
Cavity wall insulation
Foam in gaps stops convection currents & radiation - insulating foam & air pockets = reduce conduction
Loft insulation
Fibreglass wool reduces conduction & radiation
Draught-proofing
Strips around doors to stop draughts - reduce convection
Hot water tank jacket
Fibreglass wool reduces conduction & radiation
Thick curtains
Reduce conduction & radiation
U-Values
Higher = heat travels faster
Better insulator - lower value
Specific heat capacity
How much energy something can store
Amount of energy needed to raise temp. of 1kg by 1*C
Heaters have high SHC
Water ideal for central heating - high SHC, liquid
Electric storage heaters - store heat using concrete/bricks
Some filled with oil - lower SHC, not as good but higher boiling point - can safely reach higher temp.
Energy transfer
9 types of energy: electrical, light, sound, kinetic, nuclear, thermal, gravitational potential, elastic potential & chemical
Energy can be TRANSFERRED from one form to another - but it can never be CREATED or DESTROYED
Energy is only useful when it can be converted
Efficiency of machines
Useful energy / Total energy
No device is 100% efficient & wasted energy is usually spread out as heat
Less concentrated but total amount is the same - can't easily be used
Heat exchangers
Pump cool fluid through heat - temp. rises, can convert into useful form
Cost of electricity
kWh - units of energy
Units = Power x Time
Cost = Units x Price
