How is energy released from oil?

Answer 1

The energy of oil lies inside its molecules. When they undergo combustion, they do break their bonds (to become simpler molecules like carbon dioxide) and all those bond breaking are exothermic, and it is the way that oil gains energy it has.

Answer 2

The hydrocarbon molecules in petroleum contain a large amount of chemical energy. When they are burned, two things happen: they release a lot of that energy as heat, and they release gases (carbon dioxide, water vapor and sometimes nitrogen, depending on the fuel).

The heat energy may be used directly, as in a furnace or water heater, or it can be converted into mechanical or electrical energy by means of a boiler and steam turbine.

The pressure of the hot gases that are released may be used to drive reciprocating machinery, such as a piston engine, or to drive a gas turbine, such as a jet engine.

Answer 3

Energy is released from oil through combustion, which involves burning the oil to produce heat and generate steam. This steam can then be used to turn turbines and generate electricity, or provide heat for residential and industrial purposes. The combustion process breaks down the hydrocarbon molecules in oil, releasing stored energy in the form of heat.
