It's burned. When it burns it creates a big volume of gasses. The force of these gasses expanding is then turned into mechanical energy.

What is the major difference between gas engine and gas turbine?

Gas engines are those which produces mechanical energy by the conversion of fuel's chemical energy in to gas , while gas turbines exactly utilise the energy contained by the gas.generally gas engines are used in land vehicles, while gas turbines are used ,mainly for propulsion systems.


What forms of energy is produced when a gas stove is turned on?

When a gas stove is turned on, chemical energy in the form of natural gas is converted to thermal energy through combustion. The thermal energy heats up the stove's elements and transfers heat energy to cookware and food.


When a light is turned on energy from electricity changes into?

gas


Why do diesel engines have more torque than gas engines?

Engines with longer piston stroke, higher turbo boost pressures, and diesel fuel has more energy in it than gasoline.


What energy transformation takes place in an engine?

In steam and combustion engines, thermal energy is changed to mechanical energy. Either heated gas or heated fluid is created that exerts force to turn the engine. In combustion engines, chemical energy becomes thermal energy which becomes mechanical energy. In electrical engines (motors), electrical energy is changed to mechanical energy by the manipulation of magnetic fields.


Are gasoline and Diesel engines heat engines?

Yes, gasoline and diesel engines are heat engines. The energy released by the burning fuel causes the gas in the cylinders to expand and push the pistons, which in turn do work.


What is an igniter plug?

Igniter plug is used in gas turbine engines for ignition,and may be turned off after once the ignition started in combustion chamber.


How is gas turned onto heat?

Gas can be turned into heat through combustion, where the gas is burned in a controlled manner to produce heat. The heat is then used for various applications like cooking, heating water, or space heating. Gas-fired appliances like stoves, water heaters, and furnaces are designed to efficiently convert the energy from gas into heat.


Has diesel got more fuel energy than petrol?

Actually diesel fuel has a slightly lower amount of energy per weight than gasoline (45.3 vs. 47.2 MJ/kg). Cylinder pressure is what gives diesel engines their power, that is why diesel engines parts are so much stronger/heavier than gas similar sized gas engines.


The thermal energy from many sources is turned into what kind of energy?

The thermal energy from many sources can be converted into various forms of energy, including mechanical energy for power generation in engines or turbines, electrical energy in power plants, or chemical energy in certain industrial processes.


Why do poorly tuned engines not get good gas mileage?

Poorly tuned engines do not get good gas mileage because they are not running efficiently. When an engine is not tuned properly, it may not be burning fuel as effectively, leading to wasted energy and decreased fuel efficiency.
