Supernovae of Types Ia, Ib, and II contribute, on average, 1051 ergs of turbulent energy to the interstellar medium for each 2 Mo of new heavy elements. This permits a dynamical extension of the homogeneous one-zone model (with constant IMF and instantaneous recycling) that is familiar from studies of galactic chemical evolution. Chemically possible scenarios predict current kinetic energy inputs ranging from 1039 to 1040 erg yr−1 per solar mass of interstellar gas. Dynamical studies might narrow this.
