A. chemical to mechanical energy. C. mechanical to chemical energy
B. thermal to mechanical energy. D. thermal to chemical energy.
7. Which of the following happens during the POWER STROKE of a heat engine?
A. Gases are expelled out by the exhaust pipe.
B. Gases are ignited by the spark plug.
C. Gases are compressed into fractional amount.
D. Gases are filled in the cylinder.
8. How does a condenser in a refrigerator work?
A. It compresses the refrigerant to a pressure of several times.
B. It absorbs heat from the contents of the refrigerator.
C. It cools down the content of the refrigerator.
D. It turns the cooled gas to near room temperature which then turns into liquid.
9. Which of the following refers to the harmful effects on the environment caused by the
release of heat from heat engines?

B. Noise pollution D. Waste pollution
10. How does a geothermal power plant utilize the natural heat coming from underneath the
earth?
A. The heat coming from the earth is used by a turbine to create electricity.
B. The heat coming from the earth is directly converted to electricity by means of an
inverter.
C. The heat coming from the earth is funneled into distribution pipes that is used to
power electrical appliances.
