Title: Explain energy conversion.
Course: Fundamentals of Power Generation (20904-I) > Section: Describing Energy Types and Transformations

Explanation should include the relationship between the source and the final output and the concepts of

- efficiency―loss of energy in the conversion process (put in 100 percent, never get 100 percent out)
- kinetic vs. potential energy
- Rankine Cycle
- Mollier Diagram
- heat rate.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are common applications of chemical energy?
- How might one determine the type of energy to be used?
- How is electricity a result of thermal, mechanical, or chemical generation?
- What types of energy are used in the transportation industry?
