How do some machines use thermal energy to do work?
by a form of generation or generators
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.
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 thermal efficiency?
Thermal efficiency is the efficiency of a heat engine measured by the ratio of the work done by it to the heat supplied to it.
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.
Where did Marie curie began her work on radioactive materials?
University of Paris.

Does nuclear reactors work by means of fusion of radioactive materials?
No, not at all, they work by fission of fissionable materials (very few) like U-235 and Pu-239
How does CO2 laser cutting work?
CO2 laser cutting work operates via producing infrared beams. For this reason, special materials are required, such as gold mirror or zinc, as these materials are high in thermal conductivity, which is useful in high power applications.
What is the difference between thermal energy and electrical energy?
Thermal energy exists in materials raised to a high temperature, because they can then transfer this energy to materials at lower temperatures. For example , heating radiators transfer energy to the building they are in. Electric energy is basically the movement of free electrons in a conductor, which can then do work such as turn an electric motor, or indeed produce thermal energy in a heating element,
What is thermal energy converted into work called?
what is thermal energy converted into work called
Does greenhouse work have radioactive substances?
No radioactive substances are used for ordinary greenhouse work beyond what is found in nature. Radioactive substances are controlled very closely by governments - in the US, it is done by the NRC. Licencing and training are required to work with such materials. They are not the sort of thing workers would encounter without being told. There are radioactive substances found in nature, but the level of radioactivity is usually considered insignificant, and they are nearly always no different than levels people might encounter in any ordinary workplace or home.
Does fusion create large amounts of radioactive waste?
True. If fusion can be made to work in manmade equipment, for power production, (and this is not certain), there should be much less radioactive waste than for fission reactors. The product of the fusion, helium, is harmless. The engineering details of such a plant have not been established, but the energy produced will presumably be extracted from materials surrounding the reaction chamber which absorb the neutrons produced, so these materials will become irradiated and radioactive. Whether the structure will remain for the life of the plant or perhaps neutron absorbing materials have to be replenished from time to time is unknown, but obviously there will be some radioactive waste to be dealt with.
Who died from the effects of radium after discovering it?
Marie Curie who discovered Radium, was born 7nov1867 in Warsaw, Poland & died of leukemia as a result of her work with radioactive materials on 4jul1934, in France.
How does a thermal protection system work?
The thermal protection system provides a shield from aerodynamic heating in the outer space. The system works through a series of materials that are equipped in the spacecraft that should withstand extreme temperature conditions from the launch and in outer space.
