Heat and thermal energy have a relationship because the both involved with heat.
The process of changing one form of energy into another form of energy is called work (symbol: W). For example, when an electric motor changes electric energy into kinetic energy, it is doing work.Heat (symbol: Q) describes energy in transit (i.e. the flow of energy) from a warmer body to a cooler body.So, for example, when an electric kettle is switched on, electrical energy is converted into the internal energy of the water (and of the kettle itself) -in other words, work(W) is being done to the kettle. As the internal energy* of the water and the kettle increases, its temperature rises above the abient (surrounding) temperature, so energy is then lost from the kettle to its surroundings by heat(Q) transfer. So, the change in the water/kettle's internal energy is the difference between the work done on the kettle, and the heat transfer away from the kettle. To summarise:change in internal energy = W - QSo, we can say that a change in internal energy is the difference between work and heat. And this is the relationship between work and heat.(*'Internal energy' is the sum total of the various energies associated with the vibration of the molecules of any body. All bodies have internal energy. Lower internal energy is associated with lower temperatures, and higher internal energy is associated with higher temperatures.)
When heat is added to or is absorbed by a system, its internal energy increases. The amount of external work a system can do essentially refers to the amount of energy it can transfer to something else. So when internal energy increases, so does the external work done by the system.
the transfer in internal energy is also called heat
Which internal energy source produces heat by converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy?

In an internal combustion engine, the provided energy is chemical energy. By means of combustion it is transformed into heat energy. This heat energy is transformed in to motion/kinetic energy in an internal combustion engine.
The internal energy of air can be increased by adding heat to it. When heat is added to air, the energy of the air molecules increases, causing them to move faster and have higher kinetic energy. This increase in kinetic energy results in an increase in the internal energy of the air.
