In a heat engine what happens to thermal energy that is converted from chemical energy?
When the heat energy is produced, either internally or externally to the engine, it produces a sudden expansion in the gas in the cylinder which drives the piston down, so transforming to mechanical energy. Not all the thermal energy can be used though, and some is lost to the engine's exhaust and cooling system. In a stationary engine some of this heat could be recovered and used, but it is at relatively low temperature so only suitable for low temperature processes like heating a building. In a moving vehicle this heat is just lost to the environment, which places a limit to the efficiency of the engine.

What can thermal energy convert into?
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.
What type of energy is in a lit candle?
Chemical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.
How is the chemical energy from a tree converted into thermal energy?
When a tree is burned, the chemical energy stored in the tree (in the form of carbohydrates and other molecules) is converted into thermal energy through the process of combustion. Heat is released as the bonds in the chemical compounds break, resulting in a fire that generates heat and light.
What energy is converted to thermal energy as your muscles contract?
Chemical energy stored in the muscles is converted to thermal energy during muscle contraction. This process is not 100% efficient, with some energy being lost as heat.
During combustion a fuels electromagnetic energy is converted into thermal energy?
During combustion, the chemical energy stored in the fuel is converted into thermal energy through a series of exothermic reactions that release heat and light energy. This thermal energy is then used for various applications such as heating, cooking, or powering engines.
Why is chemical energy the energy that is converted to thermal energy?
Various kinds of energy may be converted into thermal energy.In a fire it is chemical energy that is converted to thermal energy.However:In a nuclear reactor, nuclear energy is first converted to thermal energy, and eventually to electrical energy.In a fire chemical energy is also converted to light energy.In a battery chemical energy is converted to electrical energy.In braking systems kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy.
When a match is burned chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and what energy?
radient energy
What is the form of energy that is converted into thermal energy by your body.?
Chemical.
How is chemical energy converted to thermal energy?
Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy through a process called combustion. When a chemical reaction takes place, such as burning fuel, it releases stored chemical energy in the form of heat. This heat energy increases the temperature of the surroundings, converting chemical energy into thermal energy.
What form of energy is converted into thermal energy by your body.?
Chemical energy.
1 In the boiler the coals carbon energy is converted to chemical energy?
Carbon energy is a form of chemical energy. In a boiler chemical energy is converted to thermal energy
What form of energy is the kind that is converted into thermal energy by your body?
Chemical.
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.
What can thermal energy convert into?
Thermal energy can be converted into alot of things just go find out what it is.
What kind of energy in car engine?
Chemical energy is being converted to thermal energy which is then converted to mechanical energy and finally to kinetic energy which moves the car. Kinetic energy is then converted to thermal energy in the brakes to stop the car.
What do thermal energy and fossil fuels have in common?
When fossil fuels are burned, some of the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
What type of energy is in a lit candle?
Chemical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.
