What energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?
Final end of all energy lost is thermal energy. Thermal energy is the least valuable energy. The concept of entropy is rely on the loss of working capability of the system to the thermal energy. In general, the term for thermal energy lost can be called waste heat.
How does nuclear lose energy?
thermal energy lost
When energy is transferrd what energy is always lost?
thermal energy (heat)
When two surfaces interact some energy is lost to thermal energy due to?
When two surfaces interact, some energy is lost to thermal energy due to friction between the surfaces. This friction generates heat as a result of the conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy.
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
How energy lost during transmission?
It's lost as thermal heat to surroundings.
When a moving object hits another can energy be lost?
No energy is lost in such a collision, although kinetic energy is converted into thermal and possibly into potential energy.
When gasoline is converted to thermal energy Most thermal energy is then converted to mechanical energy What happens to the rest of the thermal energy?
The rest of the thermal energy is typically lost as waste heat, which is dissipated into the surrounding environment. This heat energy is not harnessed to do work and is considered a form of energy loss in the system.
Mechanical energy that has been 'lost' to friction isn't really lost It just is no longer in its mechanical form?
When mechanical energy is lost to friction, it is converted into thermal energy due to the heat generated by the friction. This thermal energy dissipates into the surroundings, which is why the original mechanical energy is no longer in its mechanical form.
Does thermal energy need to be conserved?
Yes, thermal energy can be conserved in a system through processes like insulation or heat exchange. However, thermal energy can also be transformed into other forms of energy or lost to the surroundings, so conservation of thermal energy is not always guaranteed.
Why is thermal energy lost during energy trasnformations?
Thermal energy is often lost during energy transformations due to inefficiencies in the conversion process. Whenever energy is converted from one form to another, some of it is dissipated as heat due to friction, resistance, or other factors. This loss of thermal energy represents a decrease in the overall efficiency of the energy transformation.
How do you recover the energy loss of thermal energy by vessels engine?
Thermal energy lost in any machine can not be recoverd. Sometimes part of the energy can be recovered, but never all of it. Basically, heat is wasted, or unusable, energy.
