Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.
In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.
However:
- In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.
- In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.
- In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.
- In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
