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.


For his truck Joel purchases gasoline to which oxygen has not been added. What might be the result?

If gasoline is used without any oxygen added, the combustion process will not occur properly and the engine will not run as intended. Gasoline requires oxygen to ignite and produce energy through combustion. Without oxygen, the gasoline will not burn efficiently and the engine may not start or run at all.


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 happens when gasoline is turned into energy?

Gasoline is not turned into energy. When we burn gasoline, it reacts with oxygen, breaking down and combining with it to become water vapor, carbon dioxide, and carbon monoxide. As this happens, energy stored in the chemical bonds is released. The new bonds in the products of this reaction do not contain as much energy.


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.


Can oil burn in a controlled manner to produce heat and energy?

Yes, oil can burn in a controlled manner to produce heat and energy.


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.


Do cars produce carbon dioxide emissions?

Yes, cars produce carbon dioxide emissions when they burn gasoline or diesel fuel.


Why do buses burn fuels to make new substances or to provide energy?

Buses burn fuels, such as gasoline or diesel, to generate energy through combustion. This energy is used to power the engine and move the vehicle. Combustion of fuels releases heat and gases, which are used as the primary source of energy for buses.


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.


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.
