How do we turn petroleum into energy we use?

Chemistry
1 answer:
arlik [135]4 years ago
7 0

You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery.

Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.

patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The metallic properties of steel would strongly not favor its use in construction of aircraft.

Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron. It is denser and generally weighs more than equivalent amount of aluminum. This would imply that the weight of aircrafts would be much more heavier than usual. Weight is a very key component in construction of aircraft. The lighter the mass, the faster propellers can move the craft and lesser amount of energy used. The weight would be a major problem.

Although alloying iron and carbon improves the resistant of the steel to corrosion, it still cannot be compared to that of aluminium. We would build airplanes that would not be durable for so long and that can readily rust on frequent usage.
