Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
What are the disadvantantage of ocean thermal energy?
Mainly that the useful energy is spread out quite thinly, so it requires large and expensive equipment to get a significant amount of useful power.
What energy is the thermal energy?
Heat is a transfer of thermal energy.
What sport involves transforming chemical energy into kinetic energy as useful energy and thermal energy as waste energy?
well one of the sports are football,socer and relay races these all have the chemical energy when you eat it turns to kinetic energy by you jogging,running,skipping and more that turns to thermal by when you sweat the sweat is cooling your skin
What kind of things have thermal energy?
Most things have thermal energy. Thermal energy is comes from heat and therefore anything that can generate heat has thermal energy. All living things have thermal energy.
What is the energy transformation that produces useful energy?
Thermal energy to electrical energy
Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
Where is useful thermal energy stored?
geothermal energy.....I hope you will pass your grade
What is the energy transfer in a light in the ceiling?
it is electrical to radiant and thermal I'm not sure about that answer i think it's electrical to light (useful energy) and thermal (which is the wasted energy)
Where is the useful thermal energy in a gas cooker stored?
Up your butt
How does ocean termal energy work?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
Why is solar energy useful?
Because it is freely available and it doesn't damage the environment.

How is uranium transformed into useful energy?
Uranium fission with thermal neutrons release an enormous quantity of energy; this heat is converted in electricity.
What is energy is thought of as garbage?
Thermal energy is often considered useful because it is the "waste product" of many chemical and physical processes.
