What is Thermal energy that is converted into mechanical energy?
steam engine
How is mechanical energy better than thermal energy?
Mechanical energy can be easily converted to other types of energy. Thermal energy is, to a great extent, wasted energy - it can no longer be converted to other types of energy.
Which type of energy is the mechanical energy of the car converted?
Most of it will be converted to heat, via friction.
What is device that transforms thermal energy to mechanical energy?
Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
What kind of energy is used in a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is converted into thermal and mechanical energy
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
What is the energy transformation that occurs with the burning of fossil fuels?
Energy transformation involved in terms of industrial processes of burning fuel to make energy.
How much thermal energy is produced in an electric motor j of electrical energy are converted into 92j of mechanical energy?
Assume no vibration loss, the amount of energy input to electric motor subtract out the converted 92 J of mechanical energy is the thermal energy produced.
Which principle is used in conversion of atomic energy into electric energy?
The principle of mass conversion to energy. The mass loss (due to nuclear fission or nuclear fusion) is converted to thermal energy. The thermal energy is converted (through turbines) to mechanical energy. The mechanical energy is converted (through electric generators) to electrical energy.
Mechanical energy to thermal energy?
Rub your hands together and they feel warm, right? That's it, rubbing your hands is using mechanical energy, which is by friction then converted to thermal energy (heat).
How can nuclear fission generate electrical power?
Nuclear fission process results in thermal energy production (this due to mass difference before and after of fission). This thermal energy is transferred to reactor coolant system. Then the thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through turbines. The mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy through electric generators.
