What else can I help you with?
How you can use less fuel for heating your homes?
By using less fuel, adjusting the thermostat down, and wearing more clothes.
How does insulation make homes energy efficient?
It results in less heat energy being wasted.
Why will insulating homes save burning fossil fuels?
Insulating homes helps to reduce heat loss, leading to lower energy consumption for heating or cooling. By using less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, homes that are well insulated can help decrease the demand for fossil fuels that are typically used to generate electricity or provide heat. This reduction in fossil fuel consumption can help lower greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
What does saving fuel have to do with helping global warming?
Burning fuel releases carbon dioxide emissions which adds to global warming, therefore less fuel used means less released heat, so if we use 5 gallons of fuel instead of 10 we have cut our fuel emissions by 50%.
Does a candle become less viscous with heat?
No, if the fuel remains the same (the wax) the flame and heat will remain the same.
What does biofuel mean?
A biofuel is either a solid, liquid, or gas that is made from recently living material. A biofuel produces less CO2 when burnt than a fossil fuel would. Biofuels are frequently used to power cars, trucks, tractors, etc. and to heat homes or other buildings.
How did people heat their homes in 1861?
In 1861, people primarily heated their homes using wood-burning stoves and fireplaces. Many households relied on coal as a fuel source, particularly in urban areas, where it was more readily available. Some wealthier homes might have used more sophisticated heating systems, such as hot air or steam heating, but these were less common. Overall, heating methods were labor-intensive and relied heavily on the availability of natural resources.
What problem will be caused if a fuel has an ignition temperature below the average room temperature?
A fuel with an ignition temperature less than the room temperature would spontaneously ignite - it would not be suitable for fuel because it would burn itself up before it could be used to power an engine.
Why the process of converting the chemical energy of coal into electrical energy is very inefficient?
It really depends HOW the conversion is done. The usual process is to burn the coal; if this is done, the next step is to use a heat engine, and the efficiency of a heat engine is limited in theory by the Carnot efficiency. Of course, in practice, heat engines will be even less efficient than the theoretical Carnot engine.However, if you could find a practical way to use the fuel directly in a chemical reaction (basically, a fuel cell), the resulting efficiency could be much higher.
How does the energy saving light bulb save energy?
It uses less fuel (electricity) and that elecriticy is converted more into infare rays (light)and less thermal energy (heat).
Less friction means more or less heat?
Less heat
Why did Ben make the Franklin stove?
It provided a more efficient way of getting heat from the burned fuel since it does not produce as much draft as a standard fireplace, and there is less loss of heat.
