Combustion can be a source of thermal energy, which is produced when chemical bonds in fuel molecules are broken and reformed. This thermal energy can then be used for various applications such as heating, cooking, or generating electricity.
Inputs: Matter inputs for combustion typically include a fuel source (such as wood, coal, oil, or gas) and oxygen. Energy input is typically in the form of heat to initiate the combustion process. Outputs: Matter outputs include carbon dioxide, water vapor, and other combustion byproducts, depending on the specific fuel source. Energy output is typically in the form of heat and light energy released during the combustion process.
No, oxygen is not a fuel. It is a gas that is necessary for combustion to occur, but it is not a source of energy itself.
Chemical energy is not a renewable energy source in itself, as it is derived from the combustion or reaction of finite resources like fossil fuels. However, renewable sources like biomass can be converted into chemical energy through processes like combustion or fermentation.
a hydrocarbon
Combustion requires three main components: fuel, heat, and oxygen. The fuel provides the source of energy, heat initiates the reaction, and oxygen serves as the oxidizer for the combustion process to occur. Without any of these components, combustion cannot take place.

In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
The source of energy for the non-hybrid automobiles is petrol or gasoline. The gasoline feeds into the combustion engine where it is actually the combustion that supplies the energy.
No, wax itself is not a source of energy. When burned, wax releases energy in the form of heat and light through a combustion reaction. However, the wax itself is not considered a primary source of energy.
burning fuel
The source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine is from the combustion of fuel (such as gasoline or diesel) inside the engine cylinders. The controlled explosion of the fuel-air mixture generates heat energy that is converted into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.

The output of every internal combustion engine is usually thought of as kinetic energy, but as a byproduct, thermal energy also is expelled as a result of the combustion of hydrocarbons. The primary fuel source. Additionally, much kinetic energy is also lost as a result of friction thereby also creating a thermal energy. So although the sources of both seem different, there would be no friction without first there being kinetic energy as a result of the combustion of hydrocarbon and oxygen.
