The energy produced from the detonation of vaporized petroleum transfers generally in two methods.
1. Kinetic energy : The explosion triggered from the chemical reaction of the combustion of hydrocarbons, and the resulting breakdown of the hydrocarbon chain releases several gasses and unburnt hydrocarbon chains. Carbon Dioxide, Ozone, Carbon Monoxide, and Oxides of Nitrogen. These rapidly expanding (Exhaust) gasses pressurize the combustion chamber, forcing the Piston down the length of the cylinder and transferring this energy through the Crankshaft via connecting rods. This rotational force is then transmitted through a Flywheel/Flexplate to the Torque Converter/Clutch Plate and Pressure plate assembly via an Input shaft. This force in turn is transmitted through the Forward Clutch pack (and following selected gear)/Selected Gear to the output shaft and then to your drive wheels.
2. Thermal energy : 33% of the thermal energy generated from the combustion process is transmitted to the: 1. Engine Oil 2. Engine Coolant and 3. Engine Exhaust System.
Surprisingly enough, very little thermal energy is given time to escape via the actual engine.
I hope this answers your question!

What energy transformation occurs when gasoline is burn?
The mechanical energy from the engine (with help from electrical energy from the battery), turns the potiential energy of gasoline/petrol into kinetic energy.
What engry is used in fuel?
Chemical Energy. Chemical energy is converted to thermal energy when people burn wood in a fireplace or burn gasoline in a car's engine.
What type of energy is generated from car engines?
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.
What happens if you put e85 gasoline in a regular gasoline engine?
It will ruin the engine. Ethanol is a much harsher fuel than gasoline and also requires a higher compression ratio to burn efficiently.
Can we convert public buses from diesel engines to LPG engines?
No, a diesel engine will not burn LPG. It would destroy a diesel engine. A gasoline engine can, with some modifications, burn LPG.
How does petroleum produce electricity?
You burn it. They put it through a process called predothermia. it then turns to a thick liquid and then a different processes convert it to, for example, gasoline and then you burn that product and produce electricity.
How do you produce energy by using recycled materiels?
burn it
How do motorcycles use chemical reactions?
Motorcycles burn gasoline to get energy, a chemical reaction.
Is it legal to swap from gas to diesel?
You cannot burn diesel fuel in a gasoline engine period. A gasoline engine will not run on diesel. So legality is a mute point. A gasoline engine and diesel engine are totally different in design and the way fuel is burned. The fuels are not interchangeable.
What are examples of chemical energy being transformed into mechanical energy?
The (auto) engine found in many cars. Fuel is burnt (chemical change resulting in heat) and converted to mechanical energy (through the action of the pistons and crankshaft). Explode or burn the chemicals, e.g gasoline engine burns gas (petrol) and turns the energy into mechanical energy.
Can water be used to run a GASOLINE engine?
No, gasoline engines require a volatile fuel mixture to run ; water is inert, so it does not burn.
Gasoline is example of chemical energy?
Yes, as well as anything else that you can burn. The foods we eat also have chemical energy.
