Radiant energy is absorbed as heat into a fluid which by thermal expansion causes a mass movement of the fluid, which can be directed through an engine producing a mechanical motion from that expansion. As the fluid moves through the engine it gives up heat, as it further expands in the engine, then it is condensed, and is mechanically returned to absorb heat again, to complete the cycle.
** heat produces expansion of a fluid, expansion of that same fluid without heat input therefore cools the fluid, by releasing heat into mechanical energy. Such as passage through a jet, or expansion within a cylinder. This expanded fluid must then be condensed by removing the remaining heat before it can be reused.
from friction
it is mixed with socks and mush :)
Yes, solar energy can be transformed into a usable form such as electricity through the use of solar panels. The cost of generating solar energy has decreased significantly in recent years, making it more affordable and competitive with other energy sources.
Solar energy is a form of radiant energy emitted by the sun. When solar panels are used to convert sunlight into electricity, the energy transformation occurs from radiant energy to electrical energy. The solar panels capture the sunlight through photovoltaic cells, a process that involves transforming photons into electrons to generate usable electricity.
Water can be transformed into usable energy through hydropower, where the kinetic energy of flowing water is converted into mechanical energy by a turbine, which then drives a generator to produce electricity. This process is commonly used in hydroelectric power plants to generate clean and renewable energy.
Biomass energy is transformed into a usable energy source through processes like combustion, gasification, or anaerobic digestion. These processes involve burning biomass to produce heat, converting it into a gas or liquid fuel, or breaking it down with microorganisms to release methane, which can then be used for heat or electricity generation.
In a stopwatch, electrical energy from the battery is transformed into mechanical energy to move the gears and hands of the watch, and also into radiant energy to power the display.
In a gas fire, chemical energy from the combustion of the gas is transformed into heat and light energy. The chemical energy stored in the gas molecules is released as heat and light when they react with oxygen in the combustion process.
I want to guess that it is Thermal Energy
Fossil fuel (coal, crude oil) is burned or distilled to provide a usable energy. Either as a diesel or petrol fuel for an internal combustion engine, or to heat water to provide steam power.
Biomass energy is collected from organic materials such as wood, crops, or waste products, through processes like combustion, anaerobic digestion, or gasification. This biomass is then transformed into usable forms of energy such as heat, electricity, or liquid biofuels through various technologies like steam turbines, gasifiers, or biofuel refineries.
Nuclear energy is transformed into usable energy through a process called nuclear fission, where the nucleus of an atom is split to release energy. This energy is usually used to heat water and produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. The electricity produced can then be used to power homes, businesses, and industries.
