What type of device is used to transform thermal energy into electric energy?
Tauruschild1
All forms of electricity generation start from heat - even wind and hydro-electric power are ultimately driven by heat from the sun. Most forms of generation include generation of steam and using that to drive a turbine however.

What device is used to transform thermal energy to electric energy?
A thermocouple does this, but a turbine does also.
How does energy transform into other types of energy?
MR. CENT Mechanical, Radiation, Chemical, Electric, Nuclear, Thermal
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.
How do heat engines use thermal energy and how do refrigerators keep things cold?
Heat engines transform thermal energy to mechanical energy. A refrigerator is a device that transfers thermal energy from inside the refrigerator to the room outside.
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).

How is the transfer of thermal energy from electric devices regulated?
A device that converts electric energy into thermal energy. A device that regulates the temperature of a system. A device that uses electric energy to transfer thermal energy from a cooler location to a warmer location. A machine that converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.

What is the examples of electrical energy to thermal energy?
An electric heater ( the only known 100% efficient device ).
What does nuclear energy transform to?
Nuclear energy transforms to thermal energy (through nuclear fission or nuclear fusion). Thermal energy transforms into kinetic energy (eg produces steam that drives steam turbines). The kinetic energy transforms into electric energy (through electric generators).
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.
When does energy transform?
You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.
An electric blanket converts electrical energy to?
thermal energy
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.
