AMBIENTE.
• The people of the world consume 1.06 cubic miles of oil each year as an energy
source for a wide variety of uses such as the engines shown in Figures 1.1 and 1.2.
• Coal, gas, and nuclear energy provide additional energy, equivalent to another
1.57 𝑚𝑖 3 of oil, making our total use of exhaustible energy sources equal to
2.63 𝑚𝑖 3 of oil every year.

• We also use renewable energy from solar, biomass, wind (see Figure 1.3), and
hydroelectric, in amounts that are equivalent to an additional 0.37 𝑚𝑖 3 of oil each
year.
• This amounts to a total worldwide energy use equivalent to 3.00 𝑚𝑖 3 of oil each
year.

• If the world energy demand continues at its present rate to create the
technologies of the future (e.g., the Starships of Figure 1.4), we will need an
energy supply equivalent to consuming an astounding 270 𝑚𝑖 3 of oil by 2050 (90
times more that we currently use).
• Where is all that energy going to come from? How are we going to use energy
more efficiently so that we do not need to use so much? We address these and
other questions in the study of thermodynamics.

• The word energy is the modern form of the ancient Greek term energeia, which
literally means “in work” (en = in and ergon = work).
• One cubic mile of oil is equal to 1.1 trillion gallons and contains 160 quadrillion
(160 × 1015 ) kilojoules of energy.
