Do boiling water causes chemical energy?
Boiling water can be either thermal energy or kinetic energy dependent upon how it's used. If it is used to heat up another object (thereby transferring energy in that manner) it is thermal; if the water vapor from the boiled water is used to say, run a turbine, it would be kinetic in that sense. Chances are, for most cases involving boiling water, or more specifically the water vapor produced by it, the energy associated with that will be kinetic.
What are the ultimate sources of ocean thermal energy?
Actually ocean thermal energy is being used in all the cold and icy places called Alaska and Antarctica because Ocean thermal is the difference between cold and warm waters. so that is important because when the water is warm it will melt and causes global warming.And the earth will be a flooded area and that is really dangerous.
Which has more thermal energy a large pot of boiling water or a small pot of boiling water?
Yes, if they are the same temperature. The larger bowl would have more mass thus more energy available.
Does thermal energy drive the water cycle?
Yes, the water cycle is driven by the energy in the Sun's rays, which evaporates water from the surface of the ocean. The water is carried up as vapour and eventually forms clouds and produces rain.
Does heating always increase temperature?
No. For example when you heat boiling water, its temperature remains the same. the thermal energy will go to breaking the attraction between the atoms
What has more thermal energy a cup of boiling water or a pot of boiling water?
please help
What is oceanic thermal energy?
Oceanic thermal energy is the heat energy that is stored by the water in the ocean.
What type of thermal energy is used to boil an egg?
In a pan of boiling water, the thermal energy from the source (the gas ring or electric plate) is being distributed mainly by convection, and the thermal energy enters the egg by conduction from the boiling water.
what are 5 thermal energy?
fire sun boiling water
How does thermal energy have an affect on your daily lives?
cooking and boiling water
What kind of energy is water boiling in a kettle?
To clarify, water - or any other subject IS not energy; rather, it HAS energy. In this case, the relevant energy is the thermal energy.
Is vaporizing input or output of energy?
The evaporation and vaporization of water is an endothermic process. As water vaporizes it absorbs heat energy. The changing of phase from liquid water to gas also means an increase in kinetic energy.
What energy transfer is boiling water?
heat
Does 4 cups of boiling water have the same thermal energy as 2 cups of boiling water?
They both have the same specific energy since they are at the same state, but because the total energy depends on the total mass, 4 cups would have more energy than 2 cups.
Which contains the most thermal energy - a boiling pot of water or a frozen lake?
Frozen Lake
Does thermal energy cause water at the ocean surface to evaporate?
Yes, it is true.
Ocean thermal energy conversion OTEC is a process that uses heat engines to convert differences in ocean water temperature into energy?
mechanical
