Applicationofsoundenergy
Soundenergy,likeotherenergies,isenergythatcanbeusedbyhumanbeingsandhasawiderangeofapplicationsinreallife.
Heatconversion/heateffect
Usingtheheateffectofsoundenergycanalsosolveheatingorheattreatment.Forexample,infrasoundwavescancausethemoleculesofhumancellstoresonate,rubandheat,similartotheeffectofinfraredraysonthehumanbody,thatis,produceathermaleffect.Peoplecanusethethermaleffectofinfrasoundwavestoprovideheatingorheattreatment.
Electricconversion
Accordingtotheprinciplethattheenergycontainedinmechanicalwaves(soundwaves)canbetransformedintoelectricalenergywhenitencountersabarrierduringpropagation,Britishscientistsdesignedandmanufacturedasoundwavecurrentreceiver.Theconverterthatcanincreasethesoundenergyisconnected,andthesoundenergyisquicklyconvertedintoelectricenergyforusebysomesmallelectricalappliances.Thismethodisexpectedtobecomeanewtypeofgreenandenergy-savingpowergenerationmethod,similartophotovoltaicpowergeneration,called"acousticpowergeneration".
Thelawofconservationofenergy
Thelawofconservationofenergyisoneoftheuniversalbasiclawsinnature.
Generallystatedas:energywillneitherbeproducedoutofthinair,norwillitdisappearoutofthinair,itwillonlytransformfromoneformtoanother,orfromoneobjecttootherobjects,andenergyThetotalamountremainsunchanged.
Itcanalsobeexpressedas:thetotalenergychangeofasystemcanonlybeequaltotheamountofenergypassingintooroutofthesystem.Thetotalenergyisthesumofthemechanicalenergy,thermalenergyandanyinternalenergyformotherthanthermalenergyofthesystem.
Ifasystemisinanisolatedenvironment,itisimpossibleforenergyormasstopassintooroutofthesystem.Inthiscase,thelawofconservationofenergyisexpressedas:"Thetotalenergyofanisolatedsystemremainsunchanged."
Definitionofenergy
Energyisameasureofmaterialmovementconversion,referredtoas"energy".Everythingintheworldisconstantlyinmotion.Amongalltheattributesofmatter,motionisthemostbasicattribute,andotherattributesareconcretemanifestationsofmotion.Energyisameasureoftheabilityofaphysicalsystemtodowork.
Energyisoneofthebasicphysicalpropertiesofmatter,anditisaunifiedmeasureofthemovementofmatter.
Theunitofenergyisthesameastheunitofwork,whichisJoule(J)intheInternationalSystemofUnits.Inatomicphysics,nuclearphysics,particlephysicsandotherfields,electronvolts(eV)arecommonlyusedastheunit,1electronvolt=1.602,18×10-19focus.Inthefieldofphysics,erg(erg)isalsousedasanenergyunit,and1erg=10-7joules.
Energyexistsinmanydifferentforms;accordingtothedifferentformsofmovementofmatter,energycanbedividedintomechanicalenergy,chemicalenergy,thermalenergy,electricalenergy,radiationenergy,andnuclearenergy.Thesedifferentformsofenergycanbeconvertedintoeachotherthroughphysicaleffectsorchemicalreactions.Variousfieldsalsohaveenergy.
Expressingtheessence
Commonexpressions:energyisneitherproducedoutofthinairnordisappearsoutofthinair,itwillonlybetransferredfromoneobjecttoanother,orfromoneformtoAnotherform,andintheprocessoftransformationortransfer,thetotalamountofenergyremainsunchanged.
Thefirstlawofthermodynamics:thespecificmanifestationoftheuniversallawofconservationandtransformationinallprocessesinvolvingmacroscopicthermalphenomena.Thefirstlawofthermodynamicsconfirmsthatinanyprocess,theamountofheatabsorbedbythesystemfromthesurroundingmedium,theworkdonetothemedium,andtheincreaseinenergywithinthesystemarequantitativelyconserved.
Thefirstlawofthermodynamicsisthelawofconservationofenergy.Itisasummaryofhumanexperienceandcanalsobederivedbyanalogywiththelawofconservationofmatter.Theenergyofathermodynamicsystemisexpressedasinternalenergy,heatandwork.Thefirstlawofthermodynamicsisanexpressionofenergyconservation.Theconclusionsderivedfromithavenotbeenfoundtocontradictthefacts.Accordingtothefirstlawofthermodynamics,itcanbeenvisagedtobuildamachinethatneitherreliesonexternalenergysupplynordoesitreduceenergyitself,butcontinuouslydoesexternalworkwithoutconsumingenergy.Peoplecallthisimaginarymachinethefirsttypeofperpetualmotionmachine.Becausedoingworkontheoutsideworldmustconsumeenergy,andwithoutconsumingenergy,youcannotdoworkontheoutsideworld.Therefore,thefirstlawcanalsobeexpressedas"thefirsttypeofperpetualmotionmachineisimpossibletocause."Conversely,thefirsttypeofperpetualmotionmachinecanneverbecaused,whichprovesthatthefirstlawiscorrect.
