Converting thermal energy to mechanical energy?

Thermal energy can be converted into mechanical energy through the use of a heat engine, such as a steam engine or internal combustion engine. These engines utilize the expansion of heated gases to drive a piston or turbine, which generates mechanical work. This process is governed by the principles of thermodynamics.


Inflated balloon that is taken from a heated roomto a cold outdoor?

The balloon will shrink when it goes outside. How much it shrinks will depend on the temperature difference. As temperature decreases the gas(ses) in the balloon decrease in volume causing the balloon to shrink.


How does a car radiator system work?

A car radiator system works by circulating coolant through the engine to absorb heat. The heated coolant then flows through the radiator, where it is cooled by airflow from the outside. As the coolant cools, it returns to the engine to continue the cooling cycle.


What is the physics behind the various ways a car thermostat functions?

one way a COOLING SYSTEM thermostat is a temperature-sensitive valve, inside it has a pellet of wax(is more like a chamber full of wax) enclosed in a cylinder piston chamber.when heated the pellet expands and pushes against the return spring to open the valve. when the engine cools the wax pellet will retract and the oposite will occur. it would be easier if i could show you an expanded view of a thermostat


Water is heated by gas in a boiler. The water is put in a tank. For every 111J of energy released by the gas 100j of energy is taken in by the boiler. What is the percentage efficiency off the boiler?

The efficiency of the boiler is calculated as the ratio of useful energy output (100J) to the total energy input (111J), which is then multiplied by 100 to get the percentage. So, efficiency = (100/111) * 100 = 90.09%.
