Question:
The options are;
a. Temperature
b. Thermal Energy
c. Hotness
d. Fire Energy
Answer:
The correct option is;
b. Thermal energy
Explanation:
A burner on a stove produces thermal energy which is used to raise the temperature of the metal container (kettle, pot or pans) in which items are placed for heating.
Thermal energy is the internal energy of the system given off as heat which when transferred from one body to another causes the temperature of the receiving body to rise. Thermal energy in a burner is given off when the gaseous fuel reacts or burns in the presence of or with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor in an exothermic reaction.
4C + 5H₂ + 13/2O₂ (-125 kJ) → C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O (-2877 kJ).
The formula for energy or enthalpy is:
E = m Cp (T2 – T1)
where E is energy = 63 J, m is mass = 8 g, Cp is the
specific heat, T is temperature
63 J = 8 g * Cp * (340 K – 314 K)
<span>Cp = 0.3 J / g K</span>
Electric motors are an essential part of our daily life as many systems, applications, and services depend on them. Motors today have a long service life and require a minimum level of maintenance to make sure that they perform efficiently. In large buildings, motors have to be maintained on a regular basis because they need to be in operation all the time; one small problem could cause a great loss to the organization.
Usually in large organizations, a motor maintenance program is carried out in which the causes of motor failures are identified and some necessary steps are taken to avoid them or lower their impact. Motors need to be inspected regularly, and other maintenance activities need to be performed to ensure efficient operation. Whenever a problem occurs, it should be corrected immediately to avoid further loss.
