Maxwell's daemon (1)

Irreversable energies or another power ?

The daemon has a lot to do with the 1^st and 2^nd Law of the Thermo Dynamics ? At 1 hand I recognize James Maxwell of his 4 equations within the phenomenn of Electro-Magnetism ~ EM. Besides of that it remembers me of Laplace. Like Immanuel Kant did Pierre-Simon Laplace mentioned the word “dae-mon” and meant with that a higher mythical intelligence concerning the constructures of the Universe. Laplace’s “Nebular Hypothesis”. Originally the meaning of the word “dae-mon” in Greek is a neutral goddess, who simply represents a higher intelligence. Laplace only emphasized that any human wouldn't be capable to create such a macro structure like the cosmos or Universe.

At that time Maxwell was besides these EM phenomena also dealing with research of Thermo Dynamics. He suggested there was something that could measure the speed of molecules, based upon their absorpted warmth or heating power. This something was capable ~ “supplied labor” ~ to separate these molecules that differed in speed. This resulted in 1 room with a higher ~ the high-speed molecules ~ and another room with a lower temperature ~ the low-speed molecules. William Thomson 0r Lord Kelvin named Maxwell’s “something” for the first time “a dae-mon”, because what happened was the contrary of what the 2^nd Law of Thermo Dynamics claimed. Indeed this law tells us that warmth can be transisted into labor. In a way here happened the opposite process.

When we consider our energy conform earthal understandings, then we find out that about 40 per cent is really labor. Horse Power ~ HP ~ or mechanical power, named ex-ergy. All residual energy is called “an-ergy”, what low-valued warmth represents. These specific ratios we find back in e.g. Combined Heat Power (CHP). It is almost impossible to gain more labor out of the anergy. With an added system called “Organic Ranking Cycle” ~ ORC ~ it is possible to gain about 25 per cent of dispersed labor out of the warmth. Totally the efficiency of labor will be 7 till 8 per cent higher out of energy.

This approach within the Energy Techology is analogue to the names that are given to these powers. The input energy is called “Apparent Power”, labor is called “Real Power” and the warmth is called “Reactive Power”. I consider this in relationship with the electro-magnetical phenomena. Within the Control Technology the Laplace transformations are used to deal with these components in a mathematical way, such as “real & imaginary aspects”. These 2 components can be considered as 2 vectors, which have an included angle of 90 degrees in between. Within the Mechanics and Electronics the ratio between these 2 vectors is called “effectivity” or “rate of target” symbolized by cosinus φ. Our reality with respect to the phenomenon.

As far as it concerns the transition between labor and warmth a irrational transition appears to be in a similar way at potential and kinetic energy. What makes that the transition between the 2 energies with separate kind of dimensions  to each other and back to its original ? The potential energy is represented by Ep = m.g and the kinetic energy is represented by Ek = ½ m.v². It all looks so straightforward this transition, so logical and simple, that 1 kind of energy transists into another kind of energy, based upon the 1^st Law of Thermo Dynamics regarding “The conservation of Energy”. Is this really true ? Is there some daemon here that forces this all ?
