when oil burns in the power station, chemical energy is converted to heat energy and in turn to electrical energy. the amount of electrical energy obtained is always much less than the heat energy. explain what happens to the rest of the energy?When oil burns in the power station, chemical Energy is converted to heat Energy and in turn to electrical ene
The heat of combustion is not all captured. Some of it escapes just as heat, up the chimney.





Also in the conversion to electricity there are losses, like the friction in the bearings in the generators. Plus there are losses in transmission due to the resistance in the wires themselves.When oil burns in the power station, chemical Energy is converted to heat Energy and in turn to electrical ene
we have to accept that the efficiency of energy conversion until now had not been perfected yet, the reason why we get lesser energy from the source. technology has this ultimate objective to achieve - a 100% efficient energy converter... meanwhile the energy not converted for its intended use is just lost in the atmosphere as heat, unburned fuel in the form of smoke and other by-product emissions due to energy conversion. since these losses are uncontrolled and unconfined, it becomes a blanket in the atmosphere that traps the heat from the sun on our earth that causes the so called greenhouse effect and in the end...GLOBAL WARMING! POLAR CAPS MELTING, ISLANDS SINKING,...OMG, WHO KNOWS WHAT'S NEXT!...Sorry you got more than you asked for...just want to help protect our mother earth
