What purpose of heat number write on the pipe?
Depends on what pipe you are asking about. Most pipe such as PVC has a max heat rating for internal and external temperatures. this is why regular white PVC should never be used for hot water from a hot water heater which can be 120 degrees (F) or more and melt regular PVC. That is why they recommend using CPVC which has a higher temperature rating. Depends on what pipe you are asking about.

What type of PVC pipe can be suitable for hot water pipe line?
No, certainly not. PVC pipes can only take a certain tempreature and in most cases cannot withstand tempreatures above 60 degrees celcius. if a thermostat fails in a geyser and the hot water over boils and you run water through your PVC pipes, they can melt causing severe damage. the best pipes to use are copper and galvanised depending where you live.
What is the hottest water a plastic PVC pipe can withstand?
PVC can take hot water like any other pipe but the reason no one wants to use it on hot water lines is because the glue joints can not take hot water so if your talking about straight pipe then it will be ale to take 212 degrees but if your talking about pipe and glue joints then it will fail around 65 + degrees F . If you want to run hot water in PVC you can use CPVC and the glue joints an pipe can with strand 212 degrees F but after some years as I have seen the pipe gets real brittle and so i always recommend the best called Wirsbo or any class AA pex

I don't think so. Pvc pipe cannot even used for hot water distribution. I don't know how hot the engine exhaust is, but I'm pretty sure it would melt the pipe. ( I am a master plumber.) The temperature of the exhaust just after the catalytic converter can reach 700 degrees F.

What is the between PVC and CPVC?
The type of service they are to be used for In a home PVC is used for the drains,the drain vents,main out going sewer line,water supply lines for a boiler/heating system or sprinkler systems. In a home CPCV is used to supply water to sinks,toilets, showers,hot water heater and exterior faucets... Because of the difference in usage there is also a difference in the wall thickness between the PVC pipe and CPVC pipe... So a 3/4 in PVC fitting will not match up to a 3/4 in CPVC pipe and vise versa...
