A heater is a machine that converts electrical chemical energy into thermal energy. Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only tranferred from one form into another. this is why in most heaters some of the chemical energy used is also transferred into some waste energies, eg: Light energy
What else can I help you with?
Need device that converts mechanical energy to thermal energy?
Almost every mechanical device converts some of its mechanical energy to thermal energy. Some examples I can think of at the moment are: -- drill bit -- saw blade -- file
Mechanical energy be converted to thermal energy?
rubbing handsMechanical energy converted to thermal energy
Is burning campfire mechanical energy?
No, burning a campfire generates thermal energy, not mechanical energy. Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the movement of objects or substances, while thermal energy is the energy associated with the temperature of an object.
List of examples of energy conversions?
List of examples of energy conversions1. Electric Generator (Mechanical Energy into Electrical Energy)2. Electric Motor (Electrical Energy into Mechanical Energy)3. Steam Engine (Thermal Energy into Mechanical Energy)4. Diesel or Petrol Engine (Chemical Energy into Mechanical Energy)5. Stove (Chemical Energy into Thermal Energy)6. Electric Bulb (Electrical Energy into Thermal and Light Energy)7. Cellular Respiration (Chemical Energy into Thermal and Mechanical Energy)
What is the energy transformation of an electric space heater?
kinetic energy transformation potential energy mechanical energy electrical energy chemical energy nuclear energy sound energy geothermal energy
What is an example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy?
An example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy is a steam turbine used in power plants. Steam generated by burning fossil fuels or using nuclear reactions carries thermal energy, which then drives the turbine blades to produce mechanical energy that can be used to generate electricity.
How are thermal energy and and mechanical energy similar?
-Thermal energy and mechanical energy are the sum of potential and kinetic energy.-They can change to another form of energy.-They can't be created or destroyed due to the law of conservation of energy.
What causes some mechanical energy to change to thermal energy?
Normally, friction between moving surfaces causes mechanical energy to convert to thermal energy (heat), as in the brakes of most cars.
What types of energy transformation does a heater have?
A heater typically transforms electrical energy into thermal energy, which is then emitted as heat.
Difference between thermal energy and mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy concentrates on an object as a whole, and thermal energy concentrates on an object's actions. Additionally, Thermal energy depends on temperature and mechanical energy depends on kinetic and potential energy.
How do you convert thermal energy to mechanical energy?
heat engine
What is Thermal energy that is converted into mechanical energy?
steam engine
