* 1)It is math applied to/used for… * …calculating * …measuring * …providing * …predicting * …(any other scientifically appropriate verb) * any and all things behind/resulting from/residing with the concept of energy. * 2) It’s not fun

* Deals with random, arbitrary variables and concepts that have no direct impact or impression upon our lives except stress, boredom, and a compulsion to burn schoolwork and eat food * i.e. Calculus

* Energy math is literally the exact same thing as regular math, but uses 1. different variables, has 2. different applications, and works with 3. different concepts * It is math, applied to energy * You have a formula, and you plug values into variables to generate an answer * i.e. Energy Density

* Energy equals mass multiplied by the (speed of light) squared * Applies to kinetic, potential, chemical, thermal energy, the Doppler effect, nuclear energy and many other things

* A formula to calculate the heat output of a solar panel * Note the different variables that require values to be inputted to generate a final value * Real life math-energy application

* Energy math is a way of computing and comprehending different measurements of energy * It is a practice that makes the natural phenomena of energy-use objective * Therefore it is best suited to be used by scientists, and can be applied anywhere

* It is used to: * Estimate the volumes of oil and gas in reservoirs * Optimize performance across a broad spectrum of energies * Minimize costs and environmental impacts * Design many energy-related technologies (turbines, solar panels) * Create geothermal systems * It’s very real

* Energy derived from the Greek word ‘energeia’ in the 4 th Century BCE * Mathematical concept of energy derived from the idea of “vis viva” or living force * Defined by Gottfried Leibniz as the product of the mass of an object and its velocity squared * Applies to many contexts: mechanics, chemistry, biology, earth sciences, cosmology, energy and life * As these sciences grow, so must the math that accompanies it * Energy math will be with us until we decide to forget exactness and objectivity

* Provides objective data for politicians and voters to make decisions off of * Can provide solutions for the future based off of past and contemporary consumption and management * Is an ever expanding tool * Applies to every area of energy * Tempers our destruction of the Earth * Can be fallible and can lead to wrong assumption and mislead action * It’s math

* Aboveground biomass density (t/ha) = VOB * WD * BEF Where : WD= volume weighted average wood density (1 of oven-dry biomass per m^3 green volume) BEF= biomass expansion factor (ratio of aboveground oven-dry biomass of trees to oven- dry biomass of inventoried volume)

* To calculate the CO2 Emission Factor: * t/CO2/TJ= As receive carbon x x [10,000/NCV(p)] in kJ/kg = As received Carbon x x [ /NCV(p)] in kcal/kg * YAY!!!!

* Fuel Ratio = * FIXED CARBON/VOLATILE MATTER * WOOOOOO

* OUTPUT/INPUT…… x100 !!!!!! * In terms of Joules!

* To find out how much you are paying for electricity you do this: * amps x volts = watts * 1000 watts/hour = kilo-watt hour (kWh) * 1 kilo-watt hour is how you are billed by the electric companies (all relative to the rate)

* To calculate geothermal energy you use: * E=(3mt)^2 * m= mass * t=temperature Easy

* Here it is!! * Q= 3550k (h/I SG)^1/2 * Where: * Q= natural gas flow capacity (cfh) * h= pressure drop (in water column) * I= length of pipe (ft) * K = [d^5/(1+ 3.6/d +.003d)]^1/2 * D= inside diameter pipe (in) * SG = specific gravity

* The Formula Is: * Power=.5 x Swept Area x Air Density x Velocity^3
