What is lignite used for?
Lignite, often referred to as brown coal, is a soft brown fuel with characteristics that put it somewhere between coal and peat. It is often burned in power stations constructed very close to any mines.
What is heat sink compound used for?
The heat sink compound is a mechanical component usually made of copper or aluminium or other heat conductive material. It's main purpose is a passive cooling of a body it is attached to, usually a computer chip or processor. It do not require any mechanical parts or power and significantly reduce the noise level.
Can a candle be burned without the wick?
Yes, but the level of heat has to be very high, enough to melt and vaporize the wax. At those levels of heat, the candle is literally vaporizing as a unit and wouldn't be much good for providing light for any period of time.
What room temperature is copper?
You can put copper in any room you like, and it will be able to match the temperature of the room through a normal heat transfer process, just like any other material.
Does hot charcoal ruin concrete?
Charcoal burns pretty hot, as things go. It might not be a good idea to leave it on concrete, at least not in a big pile. There is a problem with leaving a pile of burning charcoal on concrete. Concrete or any stone does not conduct heat really well. Sure, these materials get hot on hot days, and hold heat well. But if you heat concrete or stone or ceramic with a very hot source (charcoal burns at something on the order of 1100°C or 2000°F on contact, ball park), something called differential expansion breaks up the surface of the material being heated. Take a breath and read on. The intense heat from a source will cause localized expansion of material. And not enough heat will be conducted quickly into the underlying material to keep the difference in the expansion rates between the surface material and underlying material from breaking off tiny pieces at the surface of the material. Stone can actually be cut by "burning through" it with a hot source. The stone is not actually burned away, but differential thermal expansion nibbles it away, and a hot torch can cut stone (or concrete) in this way. If you spread burning charcoal out on concrete, you'll probably be okay. (Ash will insulate it a bit.) But it might not be a good idea to leave it in a pile.
What is any type of material that stores energy and can be burned to supply heat?
oil or coal
What is any type of material that stores energy that can be burned to supply heat?
oil or coal
Any type of material that stores energy and can be burned tosupply heat?
Any type of material that stores energy and can be burnt to to supply heat is called fuel.e.g wood,coal,petrol etc
What is the material that is burned to produce thermal energy?
Hydrocarbons (and the similarly hydroxl-based alcohols) can be burned to release heat. The energy is stored as carbon bonds that can be broken by oxidation (burning). But any combination of oxygen with a free radical, or a pure metal, can also release heat.
What kind of material is firewood made of?
Basically any sort of wood can make a good material for firewood, be it logs or branches. However, some species of wood are better than other, such as tamarack or birch, which produce more heat when burned.
What is the source of energy to generate electrical energy in a fossil fuel power plant?
Cogeneration simply means generating your own electrical power that is used to supplement power from the electric utility. Almost any type of energy can be used locally to cogenerate power. Chemical energy in the form of diesel fuel, gasoline, natural gas, and others. Waste heat from an industrial process such as heat-treating or waste material from a manufacturing process such as wood chips can be burned and the heat used to run a steam turbine. wind power solar energy - photovoltaic power geothermal hydroelectric And many others.
How many biofuels are there?
Any plant or animal material that can be burned is a biofuel so heir is no limit to the number.
What is the meaning of encaustic?
Prepared by means of heat; burned in., The method of painting in heated wax, or in any way where heat is used to fix the colors.
What is the difference between petrol and fuel?
Fuel is any material that is burned or altered to obtain energy and to heat or to move objects. Petrol, or gasoline as us Yankees call it in the good old USA, is one type of those fuels.
What types of materials conduct heat?
Any material that has free electrons.
What is aconduction?
Any material that allows heat or electricity to transfer easily.
Heat can make things move can heat be changed in to any other form?
In a thermal power station, heat is turned into electrical power
