increases, causing the molecules in the gas to move faster and collide more frequently. This leads to an increase in pressure and volume of the gas.
The main type of thermal energy transfer that happens when a gas is heated is convection. In convection, the heated gas molecules become less dense and rise, while cooler gas molecules sink, creating a circular motion that transfers heat throughout the gas.
The random motion of particles in a gas is associated with kinetic energy. This energy corresponds to the particles' motion and is dependent on their velocity and mass.
10 JoulesConservation of energy, assuming there are no other losses in the system, and 20 Joules are introduced by compression, and 10 Joules are removed by heat transfer, the remaining 10 Joules must be absorbed as increased thermal energy of the gas.
chemical energy to thermal energy(heat energy)
In a gas fire, chemical potential energy in the natural gas is converted to thermal energy when ignited. The thermal energy then produces light and heat energy as the gas burns and releases energy in the form of heat and light.

As the temperature of a gas sample increases, the kinetic energy of the gas particles also increases. This is because temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in the sample. Therefore, an increase in temperature corresponds to an increase in the average kinetic energy of the gas particles in the sample.
As the gas sample in the balloon is heated, the gas molecules gain more kinetic energy and move faster, causing them to spread out and occupy a larger volume. This results in a decrease in density since the same amount of gas now occupies a larger space.

In steam and combustion engines, thermal energy is changed to mechanical energy. Either heated gas or heated fluid is created that exerts force to turn the engine. In combustion engines, chemical energy becomes thermal energy which becomes mechanical energy. In electrical engines (motors), electrical energy is changed to mechanical energy by the manipulation of magnetic fields.
chemical energy to thermal energy(heat energy)
A gas loses thermal energy during condensation.
when air(gas) is cooled(thermal energy is removed) its molecules slow down and it becomes a liquid(condensation) when air(gas) is heated(thermal energy is added) its molecules speed up, but it wont change into a different phase until gas is heated to a temperature above 10,000 C, which removes electrons from the atoms
If a soccer ball that is otherwise able to hold its pressure fairly well is heated by the sun, it will, indeed, increase its pressure. Thermal energy is transferred to the air (which is already compressed) inside the ball, and it causes the gas atoms and molecules to increase their thermal energy. This thermal energy causes increased vibration and increased "bouncing around" among the heated gas particles. The increased kinetic energy added to the air by the heat of the sun has increased the pressure in the ball.
The gas will have thermal energy given by its specific heat capacity (at constant pressure or volume depending on the situation) times the rise in temperature. This thermal energy is possessed because of the increased kinetic energy of its molecules, due to the rise in temperature.
