The energy stored in gasoline is?
A type of chemical energy.
What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
When the potential energy of gasoline is converted to the kinetic energy of a moving car what has occurred?
Gasoline isn't changed into energy, because it is matter, and matter only changes form (it turns into carbon monoxide among other things). However, if what you are asking is, what kind of energy is produced when gasoline is burned in an engine, then you get kinetic energy (the heat builds pressure which causes kinetic energy when the rods are forced to move)
What is a device that converts energy of motion into electrical energy?
The internal combustion engine converts chemical energy into mechanical energy to make a car move. The chemical energy in gasoline and water are converted into thermal energy. This energy causes the pressure that forces the pistons to move. The pistons transform the thermal energy into mechanical energy.
What energy is the thermal energy?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
Does thermal energy run on gasoline?
Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.
When gasoline burns what kind of energy does it change into?
Thermal energy
What does gasoline have that cars need?
Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
The energy stored in gasoline is?
A type of chemical energy.
What gasoline does to a car?
It provides the original source of energy that makes the car move. Gasoline has chemical energy, that is easily converted to thermal energy and then to mechanical energy(movement), which is used to propel the car.
What source of thermal energy does a car's engine use?
The combustion of gasoline or diesel fuel
What device is used to to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
How much thermal energy can you get out of a gallon of gasoline?
Gasoline can generate roughly 20K BTU/lbm. There are 6 lbm per US gallon.
What type of devices used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
What type of device is used to transformed thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electrical energy?
A generator. It uses the heat energy from burning gasoline or a similar fuel.
What engry is used in fuel?
Chemical Energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.
