How does ocean termal energy work?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
In what ways have humans made thermal energy work for them?
Thermal energy has served many uses to humans. Thermal energy has been used to cook food, heat homes, and generate electricity.
What is thermal energy converted into work called?
what is thermal energy converted into work called
What is the difference between temperature and thermal eenergy?
Thermal energy can be used to do work. Temperature cannot be used to do work. Thermal energy is actually heat energy in transit.
What is the study of relationships between heat work and thermal energy?
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
Can solar energy be changed into thermal energy without any work being done?
YesIt is true that solar energy can be changed into thermal energy without any work being done. The solar energy is thermal energy from the sun.
What does a pyrometer do?
A pyrometer is a device that is used to measure thermal radiation, a type of heat energy. It is useful for those who work on heating houses or or who do any work where heat transfer is important.
What is waste thermal energy?
Waste thermal energy refers to thermal energy caused by friction. It usually a waste product that results when energy changes form or performs work.
Can thermal energy be used as work?
Yes
How does the thermal energy of a system change when work is done on The system?
Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
What type of renewable energy that requires water to work?
Thermal energy
Thermal energy that is not converted into work is called?
siemens energy grid
