An example:

When applying the brakes on a moving car (kinetic energy,) the Brake Pads and Disks heat (thermal energy) from the friction, as do the tires and the road (again, friction.

All the Thermal Energy created, is waste or wasted.

What is waste thermal energy?

Waste thermal energy refers to heat energy that is produced as a byproduct of industrial processes, electricity generation, or other activities that is not being used and is therefore wasted. This unused heat can be captured and turned into useful energy through technologies like waste heat recovery systems, which can help improve energy efficiency and reduce overall energy consumption.


What is the byproduct of the conversion thermal energy to kinetic energy?

Waste heat.


How do control thermal pollution?

Reduce amount of energy waste.

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 may occur as an effect of waste heat on the environment?

Thermal Energy


Is a trampoline a waste of thermal energy?

A trampoline itself does not generate or waste thermal energy. However, when people jump on a trampoline, some energy is converted to heat due to friction between the trampoline material and the person jumping. This is a very small amount of thermal energy in comparison to the movement energy expended.


What can happen to energy that cannot be destroyed and its not used to do work?

it is transfered or turned into waste thermal energy


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.


What describes thermal energy that is not converted into work by a heat engine?

waste heat
