Describe how useful energy may be obtained, or electrical power generated, from: (a) chemical energy stored in fossil fuels (b) chemical energy stored in biofuels (c) hydroelectric resources (d) solar radiation (e) nuclear fuel (f) geothermal resources (g) wind (h) tides (i) waves in the sea including references to a boiler, turbine and generator where they are used
Define efficiency as: (a) (%) efficiency = (useful energy output) / (total energy input) × 100% (b) (%) efficiency = (useful power output) / (total power input) × 100% and recall and use these equations
Define power as work done per unit time and also as energy transferred per unit time; recall and use the equations (a) power = work done / time taken, P = W/t (b) power = energy transferred / time taken, P = ΔE/t
