Abstract
Energy conversion, consumption and conservation: The Law of Conservation of Energy is one of fundamental laws of physics: in physical processes energy cannot be destroyed or decreased, it can be converted (transformed) from one form of energy to another [1]. Table 2.1 lists several processes of energy conversion from one form to another [2].
