Waste to Energy Conversion is when you take waste (the combustible parts of household garbage, for example, that cannot be otherwise recycled) and burn it to run an electricity generator. Then you have used waste to make energy.

How a machine transforms energy into waste energy?

A machine transforms energy into waste energy through the process of converting the energy into different forms, such as heat, sound, or vibration, that are not useful for the machine's intended purpose. This waste energy is typically released into the environment as a byproduct of the machine's operation, leading to inefficiencies in the energy conversion process.


Does solar energy waste energy?

Solar energy is energy, it can't waste energy.The process of converting incoming solar energy into other forms of energy that are more useful to us (which is often, confusingly, still called "solar energy") does in fact waste some of the input energy, since no real conversion process is 100% efficient.


What w is energy that is not useful?

Waste energy.


What waste can you burn to create electricity?

Some types of waste that can be burned to create electricity include municipal solid waste, agricultural waste, and biomass. These materials can be combusted in waste-to-energy facilities to generate electricity through steam turbines or other energy conversion technologies.


How much energy is wasted for every 1000 megajoule?

It depends on the efficiency of the appliance. If an electric motor has an efficiency of 0.7, then for every 1000 megajoules, 30 megajoules will be wasted as useless heat or sound or other useless energy form.


What is a form of energy conversiton that produces an unwanted energy?

One example of a form of energy conversion that produces an unwanted energy is the combustion of fossil fuels to produce electricity, where heat energy is generated as a byproduct. This heat energy is often wasted and contributes to environmental issues such as global warming.


Whenever one form of energy is converted into mechanical energy some energy is also tranformed into?

Almost invariably, in any energy conversion, some energy gets converted into waste heat.


What are the good of burying waste in landfill sites?

energy can be converted by the conversion of landfilled gas and it kills animals underground


Explain why the amount of useful energy always decreases when energy is changed from one form to another?

Energy conversion is not really efficient because of many factors. If we take an example of how energy are lost during conversion in our power plant. Today the efficiency rate for our coal powered plant are only 20-40%, which is an absolute waste. All those 60 or more % of energy lost is because they are converted from one form to another form many times before result is seen. Energy can be lost in forms of heat, sound mainly.
