Availability of energy

The availability of energy from an explosion can be approximately calculated in most cases but the method used depends upon the nature of the explosion. 

The increased availability of energy fueled the Industrial Revolution. The United States became the world s largest oil producer, and the new fossil fuels were abundant and modestly priced. A technology s energy efficiency was not a key part of capital investment decisions. Energy-efficient technology as a priority ranked well behind improved performance. 

A perennial subject of concern is the long-term availability of energy resources. Natural scientists and... 

The advances of human civilization can be viewed as the results of people figuring out how to increase the availability of energy. As Figure 6-21 shows, the amount of energy used per person per day has multiplied by ore than a factor of 100 as humans moved beyond the application of their own muscles, by making use of animals, water power, fossil fuels, and nuclear energy. 

The production of proteins (enzymes) is also linked to the availability of energy, substrates and (metal) ions (see Chapter 4).

The availability of energy from renewable sources varies in space and time. The energy may not be available per the need of users. Hence a medium, or a buffer system, is required to store the energy. A renewable source can be considered useful if it can deliver... 

The availability of energy in the form of ionizing radiations has recently increased markedly. This increase is likely to continue for some years. A portion of this energy will be potentially available as a result of accelerator development and facilities for the production of radioisotopes. Another large supply of this energy will be produced as a necessary consequence of the anticipated wide-scale use of the power reactor. 

The future availability of energy has significant economic implications that are not captured by current projections of the GNP or other economic indicators. 

Timeyko, 1992 Novikov, 1993). It is during this last phase that the vigorous jerks of the pectoral fins appear, requiring rapid availability of energy.

Brain function is dependent upon ready availability of energy by aerobic metabolism. This energy is provided by aerobic glycolysis, the breakdown of glucose blood sugar to pyruvic acid with 02 as an electron acceptor. Therefore, brain cells and other nerve cells are highly susceptible to interruptions in the supply of either 02 or blood glucose. 

Another way of expressing the availability of energy, that is, ATP, is to calculate the so-called phosphorylation potential ... 

Thermodynamics The study of heat, energy, and the availability of energy to do work. 

In the transition to hydrogen, it s the demand for improved energy services that will drive the system, not the availability of energy sources.
