The output of every internal combustion engine is usually thought of as kinetic energy, but as a byproduct, thermal energy also is expelled as a result of the combustion of hydrocarbons. The primary fuel source. Additionally, much kinetic energy is also lost as a result of friction thereby also creating a thermal energy.

So although the sources of both seem different, there would be no friction without first there being kinetic energy as a result of the combustion of hydrocarbon and oxygen.

What tranafers thermal energy to move pistons that provide power?

In an internal combustion engine, the burning of fuel in the combustion chamber generates high temperature and pressure gases that transfer thermal energy to move the pistons. This movement creates mechanical work that drives the engine and provides power for vehicles or other applications.


Transfers thermal energy to move pistons that provides power?

A combustion engine transfers thermal energy to move one or more pistons that provide power. An example of a combustion engine is an engine in a car.


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 device that transforms thermal energy to mechanical energy?

Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.


Is thermal the same as internal energy?

No, thermal energy refers to the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance, while internal energy includes both kinetic and potential energy of the particles within a system. Thermal energy is a component of internal energy, but internal energy also includes other forms of energy such as potential energy due to particle interactions.
