I am not entirely sure what you mean by "reversible by itself".An energy transformation is usually NOT entirely reversible. Some energy is wasted in the transformation, and (even though the energy is definitely still somewhere), you may need ADDITIONAL energy to transform it back.

What is a FLAME Is it solid or liquid or gas or any other thing?

It is a release of energy as heat and light during a chemical change. It is not itself any form of matter.

A Bunsen burner is an object: it is not a process of any kind.


How are chemical reactions different to reversable changes?

physical change is reversible because you can undo it for example: if you fold a paper you unfold the paper. chemical chang is irreversible because if you make somthing together you could not seperate them.

Is firewood an indirect form of solar energy?

Well it depends on how you look at it. Firewood itself isn't because it isn't producing any thermal or electric energy. If you are looking at it as firewood being burned then yes it is an indirect form of solar because it is being converted to thermal energy


What are the uses of alternative energy?

The energy itself is used the same way as any other energy - to heat our homes, operate electrical appliances, etc. Once such energy is converted to a useful form - usually electrical energy - it makes no difference (for the ability to use it) where the energy comes from.


What kind of energy can change into another kind of energy?

Any form of energy can be turned into another form.


What are some characteristics of elastic energy?

Ability to deform itself by compressing, elongate, or any other ways it can deform by itself or another form, but also it's ability to reform, or reshape itself back to it's original position. May lose it's elasticity over time though. Can convert into other types of energies. Such as Gravitational Energy and Kinetic Energy. Can be converted from Gravitational Energy and Kinetic Energy.


Can energy be converted from one form into another?

Yes, any form of energy can be converted into any other form, although the conversion process is not 100% efficient and there will be some energy lost.


How come world thermodynamicists fail to recognize that what makes coal combustion the energy of choice for electricity is the reversible piston turbine reversible process?

I am not sure what you mean. What process is that? Any combustible fuel will work, not just coal. You can read about the thermodynamics part by looking for a description of the "Carnot engine". The process is NOT reversible; although the Carnot engine is reversible in theory, there are always losses in practice that make it irreversible; also, the fact of burning the coal is not reversible.
