Energy transfers take place constantly in everyday activities. Think of two scenarios: cooking on a stove and driving. Explain how the second law of thermodynamics applies to these two scenarios.
Using thermodynamic theory as a foundation, devise and comment on what you consider to be a good rationale for responsible consumerism and environmental sustainability.
Energy Efficiency is an integral part
of the sustainable kitchen because:
(choose all that apply)
O A) Using energy can have a direct impact on the
environment and consequently our food supply.
B) Low-efficiency equipment can add many more tons of
CO2 to the atmosphere than high-efficiency equipment.
C) Lowering energy and water bills helps offset the higher
costs of sustainable food choices.
How different types of transportation make use of thermodynamics?
