Comments (0) I have added extra materials for your revision of Unit 6 on Energy. Use the S4 link at the top of the screen to access the revision page, Energy Matters links and close to the bottom of that page.
We started looking at the Energy Matters topic this week with a focus on energy efficiency. One of the newer ideas we discussed was combined heat and power, where energy normally wasted in an industrial setting finds an application in heating a residential area. A similar scheme called Caithness Heat and Power was installed in Wick last year.
We’ve covered latent heat in class and I have posted the extra notes I gave you today as a pdf file in case you lose them between now and revision time.  When you are reading them, remember that the worked examples on the last 3 pages are credit level work.
revision notes on latent heat (+worked examples)
Someone asked me about the animation I used last week when we were looking at the generation of electricity. The file is a java applet, this means you will need to install java on your computer if you do not have it already. You can view the animation here. If it won’t run for you, try downloading the free java software.
