Are Heat energy and thermal energy opposite?
Thermal energy is the energy contained in a system at a specific temperature a combination of kinetic and potential of the particles. Heat Energy is similar as Thermal energy but when you add heat energy the Temperature of the system may decrease on increase.
What is the form of energy that is produced by the movement of molecules in a substance?
It's called thermal energy, and it manifests itself as an increase of temperature.
How do you increase thermal efficiency in converting heat energy to mechanical energy eg in internal combustion engine or gas turbine is there any device to improve thermal efficiency?
The first step would be to insulate the system to decrease heat loss then increase the compression ratio of air/fuel mixture as in the ic engine The first step would be to insulate the system to decrease heat loss then increase the compression ratio of air/fuel mixture as in the ic engine
What is the movement of energy from warmer object to a cooler object?
the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer
What causes an increase in thermal energy?
heat is the cause in the increase in thermal energy. the sun also causes it one the earth, because the heat from the sun projects light in a beam onto the earth and heats up the earth.

Do you need to increase or decrease the amount of heat energy to change a solid to a liquid?
Thermal (heat) energy must be added or removed in order to cause a change of state.
Can thermal energy be added without an increase in temperature?
No, thermal energy is entirely energy added for heat.
What is the form of energy that is produced by the movement of molecules in a substance?
It's called thermal energy, and it manifests itself as an increase of temperature.
What is the name of the thermal energy that moves from a warmer object to a cooler one?
"Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat"."Thermal energy" or "heat".
How do you increase or decrease the movment of molecules?
Molecules react to thermal energy, or heat, as well as pressure. When you increase the temperature of molecules, they will increase their vibration and movement. Pressure can also allow molecules to move from one area to another.

How is heat different from thermal energy?
There is no particular difference between heat and thermal energy. Heat is a form of thermal energy. Since thermal energy is energy from heat, heat and thermal energy are basically the same thing.
What is the movement of energy from warmer object to a cooler object?
the movement of energy from a warmer object to a cooler object is called heat transfer
Can work done on a system decrease its thermal energy?
Yes. As an example: if you define a refrigerator as your system, the work done on the system causes heat to be expelled from the system to the surroundings. The net heat expelled will be equal to the work input plus the decrease in its thermal energy.
What causes an increase in thermal energy?
heat is the cause in the increase in thermal energy. the sun also causes it one the earth, because the heat from the sun projects light in a beam onto the earth and heats up the earth.
Can heat be thermal energy?
Heat is thermal energy. Always.
