Explain by drawing energy flow diagrams through a steady-state system such as a filament lamp a power station, or a vehicle traveling at a constant speed on a level road?
Difficulty: Easy
Flow diagram of an energy converter:
In an energy converter, a part of the energy taken (used up) by the system is converted into useful work. The remaining part of the energy is dissipated as heat energy and sound energy (noise) into the environment.
The energy flow diagrams given below show the energy taken up by an energy converter to transform it into other forms of energy.
