It goes from potential(before being burnt) to chemical(being burnt), to mechanical, with the pressure pushing the piston down.
Potential, then chemical, then mechanical.
If full combustion takes place, the products are CO2 and H2O.
The purpose of a gasoline car engine is to convert gasoline into motion so that your car can move. Currently the easiest way to create motion from gasoline is to burn the gasoline inside an engine. Therefore, a car engine is an internal combustion engine -- combustion takes place internally. The engine turns the explosion that takes place into Horsepower & Torque. Torque gets the car moving and Horspower keeps it moving.
Burning the fuel releases chemical energy, this causes mechanical energy through the pressure created in the cylinder, which drives the pistons and hence the crankshaft.
chemical energy to heat energy
Need to know what engine and what year and if it's gasoline or diesel to answer that. Some gasoline injectors are held in place by the fuel rail.
Chemical energy changes into thermal energy and light energy.
Heat energy is released in a heat engine when fuel is burned. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.
im not really sure if anyone knows the answer please answer it !
chemical
Chemical energy converts into radiation plus heat. (Some of which also converts itself into [IR] radiation)
When a candle starts burning heat energy is transformed either by radiation or conduction or convention(in case of liquids).
