When you burn a fuel in air you are converting chemical potential energy into thermal energy. The only energy input needed is to raise the fuel temperature to the ignition point. To obtain electromagnetic energy you have to drive a generator, which requires mechanical energy, so you have to use the thermal energy to drive a heat engine, a gas turbine is a good example.

The burning of a fuel transforms which energy?

The burning of a fuel transforms chemical energy into heat and light energy.


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.


Is stored in a fossil fuel and released in a form of kinetic energy when burned?

Potential


Is thermal energy released when fuel is burned?

Yes, thermal energy is released when fuel is burned. The combustion reaction converts chemical energy stored in the fuel to thermal energy, which is released as heat. This heat energy can then be used for various applications, such as heating or generating electricity.


What kind of energy does fossil fuel produce?

Thermal energy.


What are some examples of Thermal energy to electrical energy?

Thermal energy is regularly converted to electrical energy in power plants, as well as generators. Note that if some fuel (often fossil fuel) is used, the thermal energy is only an intermediate stage.


What kind of fuel do you need to make thermal energy?

Any fuel will do.


What is the process of burning a fuel to change chemical energy into thermal energy called?

Combustion generally, but may be referred to by other names (oxidation in some instances). Keep in mind that combustion is the process of burning a fuel to change chemical POTENTIAL energy into thermal energy.


What is a device that transforms electrical energy?

A battery or a fuel cell converts chemical energy directly to electrical energy


A substance whose potential chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy is called a?

A substance whose potential chemical energy is transformed into thermal energy is called a fuel. When the fuel undergoes combustion or a chemical reaction, its stored energy is released in the form of heat.


What kind of energy does combustion give of off?

Combustion (the burning of something) releases chemical energy stored in the fuel, whatever it is. The fuel might be wood, coal, oil or petroleum fuel, or something else like that. But whatever the fuel is, we burn it, generally to create heat (thermal energy). This thermal energy is used as we wish. We might convert it to mechanical energy to move a vehicle, or something like that.


What is oil thermal power plant?

The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.
