Abstract

Energy is the major commodity for the industrial society. In general, energy is an ability to move matter, which in one way or another shows up universally. As physical processes unfold energy goes from one form to another, and the total sum of different energy values in commeasurable units remains constant (see [1]). This constitutes the law of conservation of energy—an important operational principle affirming that energy can neither come out of nowhere nor disappear into nothingness.
