Questions about energy conservation
Thread Content
When no material enters or leaves the reactor, what form of energy is the shaft power of the mixer converted into? Some believe it is converted into heat energy, but it seems that heat energy is only part of it; the question is, where does the rest of the energy go? I’ve never been able to figure it out; thank you
Electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy, and kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy in the absence of any material, with the heat being dissipated through various heat conduction processes.
When the pump operates with the outlet closed, its kinetic energy does not increase; it seems that not enough of that energy is converted into heat energy
