Therma losses are heat losses, or losses of heat energy. Just one example is the idea of thermal loss through windows in a structure. Walls can be insulated, but heat energy can pass readily through ordinary window glass. On a cold day, there are a lot of thermal losses from a structure through regular glass windows.

Is thermal energy caused by the ocean?

No, thermal energy is the last form of energy degradation. All energy will eventually transformed to thermal energy. Even the motion of wave (kinetic energy) would eventually loss through shear and friction and transformed to thermal energy.

When gasoline is converted to thermal energy Most thermal energy is then converted to mechanical energy What happens to the rest of the thermal energy?

The rest of the thermal energy is typically lost as waste heat, which is dissipated into the surrounding environment. This heat energy is not harnessed to do work and is considered a form of energy loss in the system.

What energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?

Final end of all energy lost is thermal energy. Thermal energy is the least valuable energy. The concept of entropy is rely on the loss of working capability of the system to the thermal energy. In general, the term for thermal energy lost can be called waste heat.

Is it true that energy is usefully transferred in an iPod as thermal energy?

Yes, in an iPod, electrical energy from the battery is converted into thermal energy due to resistance in the electronic components and circuits. This thermal energy can be a byproduct of the energy transfer process and can contribute to the overall energy loss in the system.


What does a change form a liquid to a solid involve in thermal energy?

When a liquid changes to a solid, thermal energy is released from the substance. This energy is used for the particles to slow down and become more ordered into a solid state. The release of thermal energy is known as heat of fusion.

How do you recover the energy loss of thermal energy by vessels engine?

Thermal energy lost in any machine can not be recoverd. Sometimes part of the energy can be recovered, but never all of it. Basically, heat is wasted, or unusable, energy.
