Burning a material converts chemical energy into thermal energy.
The process of storing or burning more energy to maintain the body best weight is called what?
jfjgakjkjdfkajfkascarb burning i dont know if it right but it sure is a better answer than jfjgakjkjdfajkas :)
How does electricity produce pollution?
Electricity does pollution in many ways. It begins pollution at the very beginning when produced in thermal power stations.Electricity doesn't pollute directly, it helps other machines to pollute. For eg: Eletricity is used for many appliances, which may malfunction and catch fire, leading into many other problems. Electricity is one of the cleanest sources of energy. But making the electricity can cause many pollutions. A common method of generating electricity is to burl fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels can cause pollution, but not the electricity. But wasting electricity can lead to burn more fossil fuels to generate it. In small scale, electricity is obtained by chemical reactions in non rechargeable cells. These cells contains Murcury, cadmium and various pollutents. Even in the rechargeable cells when they are inally dumped can cause a huge damage to the environment. But there are various clean methods of generating electricity without the pollution. Generating electricity with fallig water or hydro electricity is one of the clean ways of generating electricity. This is the majour source of electricity used in Sri Lanka. The initial cost is heigher; but in long run, it needs nothing but constantly falling water. Solar cells are also a clean source of electricity. This is good for small scale electricity requirements. Costs a lot, but good in long run. Needs little maintainance and no fuel but Sun Shine.
What are some strengths of geothermal?
Geothermal energy is considered a renewable energy source. Which means that, unlike the fossil fuels we rely on for energy, we can continue to use geothermal without having to be concerned that we will run out of energy. In terms of electricity generation, a geothermal power plant will emit only about 1% of the carbon dioxide that a fossil fuel powered plant would produce to generate the same amount of electricity. Although this may not be as good as solar or wind powered forms of electricity generation, geothermal does have the advantage of being able to produce a steady supply of electricity 24/7, something that most renewable energy sources can't.
How does hydrogen make energy?
You only get energy when you combine it with oxygen (most usually), by burning in one way or another. Beware, many ways of producing hydrogen consume more energy than that.
What is the percentage of energy that's available to the consumer?
Typically, about 30-40% of the energy from the primary source (like coal, gas, or oil) reaches the consumer in usable form. This is due to losses in generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity.
How will hydro electric energy be used?
It will go into the electric power grid and be used as any other form of electricity - by the time it reaches the consumer the source is unknown
Is the United States he largest consumer of electricity?
According to the EIA, or energy information administration, the United States is the largest consumer, producer and net importer of electricity.
What is the energy input of burning coal?
The energy input of burning coal is the heat energy released during the combustion process. This heat energy can be used to generate electricity or heat buildings.
Where is the majority of the worlds electricity derived from?
Burning the stored energy of fossil fuel
Does a sauna use chemical energy?
No, sauna works on electricity or burning firewood.
What happens to solar energy that reaches Earth?
In India we have 300 sunny days - but we ignore this renewable energy to produce electricity.
What does the Consumer Focus Energy Price Comparison Tool do?
The Consumer Focus Energy Price Comparison Tool can cut your bills down. The Consumer Focus Energy Price Comparison Tool allows you to compare gas and electricity prices in your area from all energy suppliers.
What types of energy are used the most?
Coal burning (for electricity), oil products for transport
What does a step-up transformer do to get electricity from a generator to a consumer?
A step-up transformer increases the voltage of electricity generated by a power plant before it is transmitted over long distances. By raising the voltage, it reduces the current, which minimizes energy loss due to heat in the transmission lines. Once the electricity reaches its destination, a step-down transformer reduces the voltage to a safer level for consumer use. This process ensures efficient and effective delivery of electricity from the generator to the end user.
How does West Virginia generate electricity?
West Virginia burns t coal to produce electricity by burning coal and generating electricity .
Do the burning of fuels such as coal release electrical energy?
The burning of coal itself does not release electrical energy, coal is burned to drive a turbine, the turbine in turn produces electricity.
