Energy On Oil

In today with the development of technology, people get all the ease in performing daily activities, such as going anywhere by car, to get entertained watching television, to cook rice using a rice cooker, to get air conditioned indoor use. The ease with human life in contemporary times with different era before the discovery of modern technology.

But did you know that all the tools that you use from the technology uses source energy from the combustion of petroleum or fossil fuels?

Oil is a dark viscous liquid combustibles, where oil can be found in the upper crust. Based on the boiling point of crude oil to produce several kinds of fuel, such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene, asphalt, and others.

The content of petroleum

Fossil fuels are hydrocarbons having content with any form gaseous, liquid and solid based on differences in temperature and standard pressure. Gaseous usually consists of simple hydrocarbons such as ethane, methane, propane and butane. while a higher carbon content ranging from pentane is a compound that is a liquid such as oil.

The power plant uses fuel

This power plant using fossil fuels such as used oil, coal or natural gas which heat is generated electricity using rotating machinery that operates the electric generator, the prime mover in this machine may be just steam produced from vapor pressure gases have so high that it can move turbines that generate electrical energy. In many countries, power is still widely used because most of the heat energy not used in this process will be used as the heating supplied to residential buildings, produce hot water supplied to the public baths and heating the ingredients used in the field of industry. It uses the principle of the second law of thermodynamics.

As a result of fuel combustion

Besides the benefits that we feel from the burning of fossil fuels, it appears that there is a negative thing for the environment, the negative impact is due to combustion fumes discharged directly into the environment, between the material contained in smoke are carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide and light gray. Among the negative impacts caused are:

Acid Rain

Acid rain is caused by the formation of acidict subtance  caused by the meeting of particles of water vapor and carbon dioxide, sulfur, oxygen and other substances in the atmosphere. Acid rain is causing damage to the surface of the earth due to the corrosive nature of the acid.

Global warming

Global warming is caused by the depletion of the ozone layer due to human activities such substances result of burning fossil fuels such as nitrogen oxides and carbon monoxide to form a secondary ozone layer that does not have the ability to let go of sunlight entering the Earth into space, so that the excess heat will remain was in the earth, and this is the temperature of the earth increases.

Disease in humans

Besides the negative impact on the environment, it has a result of burning fossil human health impacts, including respiratory problems, skin diseases, and even cancer or tumors.
The negative impact is a risk that must be ready to be borne by the human use of fossil fuels in the utilization of human activity. But we have an obligation to restore the environment to a state of all in order to create a comfortable place for people to live in the future.
