How is oil (energy resource) used to make power??
Oil can be made into power in lots of ways. Oil is a fuel or source of chemical energy. It is usually combusted. When oil is combusted, chemical energy is transformed to kinetic energy, and can be used to do things like move pistons in a car’s engine. Oil combustion is exothermic, so it also releases thermal energy (heat). This can be coupled with several other processes. The heat can be used to boil water, which can be used to spin turbines, which make electrical energy.
