,PURPOSE AND PERSPECTIVE OF THE CHAPTER
The purpose of this chapter is to examine the fundamental concepts of energy. As discussed i n
the chapter energy is a basic concept in all science and engineering disciplines. The concept of
energy conservation has also been explained in the chapter. Efforts of energy conservatio n u
sually concentrate on either change toJtechnology or lifestyle. Increased emphasis on ener gy co
nservation is explained with the help of some convincing arguments.
Students should learn that the use of our energy resources is one of the major factors affectin g
the environment. Using energy resources may impact J the environment, but so can extractin g t
hose resources, such as through deforestation, oil spillage, forest fires, and destruction of tJhe na
tural landscape and vegetation. Later in the chapter, the worldwide consumption of ener gy is ex
plained with the help of graphs. Recall from the beginning of this chapter that energy is not an en
d in itself butJis valued for what weJcan do with it. The end uses of energy are tradit ionally broken
down into four sectors: transportation, industrial, residential, and commercial.
Students should learn about energy resources, their limitations, and their uses. Students must k
now how large each energy resource is and how long it will last. Both of these questions ar e
difficultJto answer because we must make assumptions about future technologies for the ext ract
ion of resources, future fuel prices, and consumption growth rates. Understanding energy u se m
eans also understanding the consequences of its use. This chapter will introduce you to t he scie
nce of energy use and energy technology.

WHAT'S NEW INTHIS CHAPTER
The following elements are improvements in this chapter from the previous edition:
• Energy and energy resources are introduced more generally, withoutJthe heav
y emphasis on oil and the concept Jof peakJoil.
• Climate change is emphasized as a significant impact of energy production and use
both in theJpast and into the future.
• The formation of and work of theJIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change i
s introduced as well as the 2050 Net Zero goals and the 2016 Paris Agreeme nt.
CHAPTER OUTLINE
The following outline organizes activities (including any existing discussion questions in Power P
oints or other supplements) and assessments by chapter (and therefore by topic) so thatJyou can
see how all the content relates to the topics covered in the text. The first number refers to the ch
apter learning objective; ―PPT Slide #‖ refers to the slide number in the PowerPoint de ck for th
is chapter (provided in the PowerPoints section of the Instructor Resource Center).
