What kind of things have thermal energy?
Most things have thermal energy. Thermal energy is comes from heat and therefore anything that can generate heat has thermal energy. All living things have thermal energy.
What do you need to generate electricity?
It takes energy to generate electricity. Mechanical energy or thermal energy or nuclear energy , chemical energy,etc, etc,etc
Does your body use chemical energy to generate thermal energy?
yes. the reactions that take place in our body, such as respiration, generate heat
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 are 3 renewable sources of energy and an example of each?
Wind turbines take the mechanical energy of wind to generate electricity. Solar cells and solar collectors take the electromagnetic energy in sunlight to generate electrical energy or generate thermal energy to heat a substance. Hydroelectric facilities use the power of water under the influence of gravity to generate mechanical energy and (often) electric power. Let's throw in the idea that if we plumb (put pipes into) volcanic or thermal vents, we can collect thermal energy from the core of the earth. This can be used directly to heat things or to generate mechanical energy to create electricity.
What type of energy does a nuclear power plant generate to boil water with?
thermal
Nuclear power plants generate electricity from what?
From the thermal energy released by fission of uranium
Is a windmill thermal energy?
A wind mill does generate some heat but primarily it converts the kinetic energy in the wind into electrical energy.
What are the energy conversions which takes place in such power stations using fuels to generate electricity?
Chemical energy to thermal energy to mechanical energy to electrical energy
Reactions generate thermal energy in a nuclear power plant as water is changed into steam?
fission
What reaction generate thermal energy in a nuclear power plant as water is changed into steam?
fission
How is nuclear energy transformed into thermal energy?
Nuclear Energy is harnessed in Nuclear Reactors by 'fission' reactions which produces heat (thermal energy). In productive applications it is used to heat water to produce steam to rotate turbine and generate electricity by it.
