The source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?

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.


What is the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion chamber?

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.


Transfers thermal energy to move pistons that provides power?

A combustion engine transfers thermal energy to move one or more pistons that provide power. An example of a combustion engine is an engine in a car.


When does energy transform?

You can transform thermal energy to electrical energy in a power plant, chemical energy to mechanical energy in an internal combustion engine, or nuclear energy into thermal energy in a nuclear reactor. These are just three examples.

This is a heat engine, they come in various types such as internal combustion, external combustion, steam turbines, gas turbines, etc.


What type of energy is converted to energ of motion in an internal combustion engine?

In an internal combustion engine, the provided energy is chemical energy. By means of combustion it is transformed into heat energy. This heat energy is transformed in to motion/kinetic energy in an internal combustion engine.


What is chemical to Thermal to Kinetic?

Chemical energy is energy stored in chemical bonds, which can be converted to thermal energy through a chemical reaction, such as combustion. Thermal energy is the internal energy of a substance due to the movement of its particles, and can be converted to kinetic energy when the substance's particles move in a specific direction to do work.
