What are the requirments for combustion?
energy(fuel), oxygen and heat
Why are steam engines and automobile engines called heat engines?
Because they convert heat to mechanical energy. In both cases they harnes the heat produced as fuel combusts and convert it to pressureized fluid. That fluid then either pushes a piston or pushes on turbine blades and spins a shaft creating usable mechanical energy. The only difference is where the combustion takes place, inside the engine (gasoline and diesel powere piston and turbines) or externally (wood, coal or other fuel powered steam turbines). Most fuels could be used for both internal and external combustion engines, the difference is if the fuel ever enters the engine itself or if only the steam or other working fluid enters the engine.
True or false A heat engine is a device that converts heat into work?
False its not possible to convert all heat into work as some of its being used as energy APEX
What is the difference between a fuel and an energy source?
A fuel is one type of energy source. Fuels usually work by buning in air to produce heat, which then does further work in a turbine or other form of heat engine. When a carbon fuel is burned, the mass of oxygen taken from the air exceeds the mass of fule that has to be stored and/or carried, so using fuel is very attractive, and efficient in terms of mass and volume.
What are the three energy conversions that might occur in a power plant?
I think is a fuel in a substance that provides to form of energy such as heat, light, electricity, or motion as the result of a chemical change.
What are the five steps to convert fuel int electrical energy?
Fuel combustion: The fuel is burned to produce heat energy. Heat conversion: The heat is used to generate steam or hot gas. Mechanical energy: The steam or gas drives a turbine, converting heat energy into mechanical energy. Electrical generation: The turbine spins a generator, producing electrical energy through electromagnetic induction. Transmission: The electrical energy is transmitted through power lines for use in homes, businesses, and industries.
How do fossil fuels convert chemical energy?
Fossil fuels convert chemical energy by combustion, a process where the fuel reacts with oxygen to release heat energy. This heat energy is then converted into mechanical energy in engines or turbines which can perform work, such as powering vehicles or generating electricity.
Converts fuel particles into usable energy?
Fuel particles are broken down through a process called combustion or nuclear fission, releasing energy in the form of heat. This heat energy is then converted into electricity or used to power mechanical processes through turbines or engines.
To what kind of energy do flashlights convert?
Flashlights convert electric energy to light energy and heat energy.
Means of transport which changes chemical energy into kinetic energy?
Many engines do this conversion. For example, the engines commonly found in cars convert the chemical energy first to heat (by burning it), then convert part of this heat into movement (kinetic energy).
Why is heat energy is the least energy?
Least what? Anyway, heat energy is in a way the least useful form of energy, because you can normally convert any other energy to heat energy, but if you have heat energy, you can no longer convert all of it back to other forms of energy.
What is the energy conversion for boiler?
Boilers convert chemical energy stored in fuel into heat energy through combustion. The heat energy is then transferred to water, generating steam which can be used for various applications like heating, power generation, or industrial processes.
How does energy conversion takes place in a stove?
Energy conversion in a stove occurs when electrical or chemical energy (from a power source or fuel) is converted into heat energy. The electricity or fuel ignites a flame or heating element in the stove, which generates heat energy that is then transferred to the cookware and ultimately to the food being cooked. This process allows the stove to convert energy into usable heat for cooking.
What kind of energy tranformation take place at a thermal power plant?
Some fuel is burned; if you assume a chemical fuel (e.g., coal or petroleum), the chemical energy in the fuel is converted to heat. Then, this heat is converted to movement energy, which in turn is converted into an electric current.Note that when you have heat, only part of the heat energy can be converted to useful energy. The theoretical maximum is defined by the Carnot formula.
Can energy be converted into other forms of energy?
Heat energy is, to an extent, unusable energy. If you have a heat DIFFERENCE, you can convert part of the heat energy - but only part of it - to other kinds of energy. That part, you can of course convert to practically any other type of energy.
How do you convert thermal energy to mechanical energy?
heat engine
Can you convert a given heat energy into mechanical energy?
yes you can
