What else can I help you with?
Why can a person be seen at night by someone wearing night vision goggles?
thermal cameras or viewers
What is thermal energy converted into work called?
what is thermal energy converted into work called
Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
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.
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.
Can thermal energy be used as work?
Yes
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.
When should thermal be capitalized in a sentence?
When it is the first word of the sentence or when it is part of a proper name.I like thermal underwear.I work for Thermal Industries, Inc.
How does a reactor work on thermal power plant?
Reactor is used for distilling water in thermal power plants.
What things work because of thermal expansion and what things work because of thermal energy?
just wondering cause we are going over these things in class and i wanted to know what things work because of this?
The amount of work done by a heat engine equals the amount of thermal energy?
The amount of work done by a heat engine is not equal to the amount of thermal energy it absorbs. In a heat engine, only a fraction of the thermal energy absorbed is converted into work, with the remaining energy typically being expelled as waste heat. The efficiency of a heat engine is a measure of how effectively it converts thermal energy into work.
What is thermal efficiency?
Thermal efficiency is a measure of how efficiently a system converts heat energy into mechanical work. It is calculated by dividing the desired output (such as work) by the input energy (such as heat) and is expressed as a percentage. Higher thermal efficiency indicates that more of the input energy is being converted into useful work.
