What else can I help you with?
Diesel fuel is used in the engines of the machines and trucks at the quarry Which of these is the main energy transformation as the fuel is used by the engines?
The main energy transformation that occurs when diesel fuel is used by engines at the quarry is chemical energy being converted into mechanical energy. The combustion of diesel fuel in the engine's cylinders releases energy in the form of heat, which is then converted into mechanical work to power the machines and trucks.
Do batteries lose energy?
Yes, batteries lose energy over time even when not in use due to a process called self-discharge. This occurs as a result of internal chemical reactions that continue even when the battery is not actively powering a device.
What is a device that converts thermal energy into work?
A device that converts thermal energy into work is called a heat engine. Heat engines take thermal energy from a heat source, such as combustion or nuclear reactions, and convert it into mechanical work through processes like expansion of gases or steam. Examples include steam engines and internal combustion engines.
What is a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy?
The heat engine burns a fuel in order to create heat. This heat is then transferred in mechanical energy which creates motion.
What type of energy does a airplane use?
It is moving forward at high speed so it has a lot of kinetic energy. It is also high up so it has a lot of potential energy. All that energy comes from the engines which combine carbon from the fuel with oxygen from the air to form CO2
How do animals lose energy?
Animals lose energy simply by existing. The more strenuous the activity they are performing, the more energy they will lose.
What energy source can you use in cars?
Internal combustion gasoline, propane, or diesel engines. Electric motors. Steam engines, fuel cell engines are examples of energy sources.
What converts energy into motion?
Engines.
Is it possible thermal energy change into electrical?
If you have a DIFFERENCE of temperatures, you can convert part of that energy to other types of energy, including electricity. In fact, that is how many engines work - steam engines, gasolene engines in cars, and even nuclear reactors.
Does external combustion engines use turbines?
No,they use engines to produce mechanical energy.
What is the motor converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
What is the motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
What energy transformation takes place in an engine?
In steam and combustion engines, thermal energy is changed to mechanical energy. Either heated gas or heated fluid is created that exerts force to turn the engine. In combustion engines, chemical energy becomes thermal energy which becomes mechanical energy. In electrical engines (motors), electrical energy is changed to mechanical energy by the manipulation of magnetic fields.
What provides energy when burnt in engines?
the energy between the bonds of the fuel in the engine.
When do most substances lose or gain energy?
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
How does nuclear lose energy?
thermal energy lost
