Energy Technologies
Definitions of terms and equivalences
Units of Energy: 1 joule (J) = 1 newton-meter
1 J = 0.738 ft-lb = 107 ergs
1 cal = 4.186 J
1 Btu = 252 cal = 1054 J
1 kWh = 3.6 x 106 J
1 barrel of oil (BOE) = 5.8x106 Btu
1 Q = 1018 Btu = 1021 J
= 1.85x1011 BOE
= 3x1014 kWh

R&D in Energy
A. Resource oriented – fusion, fast breeder, solar,
others
Energy Issues
1. Issue of developing clean, renewable energy
sources in this century or face climate disaster
due to global warming by burning fossil fuels
which increase the rate of CO2 emission in the
atmosphere.
