Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfers
  1. Dissipate: Ways in which energy is being wasted
    1. Energy Transfers
      1. In a system, energy transforms from one form to the other
        1. In a closed system, there is no change in net in total energy
          1. Sometimes the transfer is not useful, it is wasted
            1. Dissipation is one time of transfer
            2. Example
              1. A kettle boiling water. The kettle is supplied with electrical energy which is transferred to thermal energy in the water.
              2. Reducing Energy Dissipation
                1. Double glazed windows trap air in the house
                  1. Loft insulation reduces heat loss
                    1. Carpets reduce heat loss
                    2. Thermal Conductivity
                      1. This is the amount of energy transferred through a material
                        1. Brick and Glass have a low thermal energy
                          1. High thermal conductivity means high energy transfer
