an example is a steam engine. the coal has potential chemical energy that is released when burned (rapid oxidation) the energy is then heat stored in the water which expands as steam the energy is then found in the pressure of the steam i dont know the mechanics be hind it after that. the best i can do is say the steam spins something that turns a drive shaft that turns gearing turning the wheels. they might skip the drive shaft if they only turn the front wheels.
No, the flow and transformation of energy is not called energy itself. Energy is the ability to do work or produce heat, while the flow and transformation of energy refers to how energy is transferred and converted between different forms, such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical energy.
When you rub your hands together, friction between your hands creates thermal energy because the kinetic energy of motion is converted into heat. This heat generation is a direct result of the friction between your hands, turning mechanical energy into thermal energy.
When applying brakes to a bike, kinetic energy of the bike in motion is transformed into thermal energy due to friction between the brake pads and the wheel rims. This thermal energy is generated as heat and dissipates into the surroundings.
Friction can cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy
When you throw a ball in the air and catch it, the initial energy transformation is from mechanical energy (kinetic) to potential energy (gravitational potential). When the ball falls back down, the potential energy is converted back to kinetic energy.
Potential to kinetic kinetic to potential Thermal to solar
Thermal energy is heat energy. Thus any energy change involving heat would fit this description, for example heat being applied to a pot of water is transformed into kinetic energy in the escaping steam.

Well it is basically, electrical energy - thermal energy - heat energy - solar energy - kinetic energy.

Energy can change from one form to another through various processes such as transformation, conversion, and transfer. For example, potential energy can be converted to kinetic energy, and electrical energy can be transformed into thermal energy. The total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant, following the principle of conservation of energy.
*Thermal
No, the energy can change forms during a transformation while still being conserved overall. Energy may shift between potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, or other forms depending on the system.
