It's converted by the coal being burned.
It mean, it had high temperature difference to the surrounding. Quality of thermal energy is upon the temperature due to thermodynamics efficiency. At same thermal energy of 100 kJ refer to 0 oC ambient, a hot bath of 100 oC may have maximum theoretical thermal efficiency of 27% or 27 kJ usable but a hot steam of 200 oC may have maximum theoretical thermal efficiency of 42% or 42 kJ usable.
While some forms of energy can be considered as either particle or wave, steam is not one of those. The energy of steam comes from it expansion. There is no steam energy particle.
heat energy and sound energy, are forms of energy in hot steam
These are same
Yes. Steam is an example of thermal energy.
The thermal energy could be used to produce steam from water. This steam drives steam turbine producing kinetic energy.
steam engine uses thermal energy to convert water into steam and then uses pressure of steam to move the engine .thus thermal energy into pressure and further pressure into mechanical energy.
steam engine
A steam engine. Like used in a steam locomotive
steam engine mechanism.(converts thermal energy to mechanical.)
Kinetic (movement) energy, thermal (heat) energy.
steam engine
Thermal energy, when absorbed by water
A steam engine.
Thermal energy (heat) and Kinetic energy (movement).
Why would i know?
