A Heat Exchanger is a device which is used to transfer heat from one medium to other. A common example is the radiator in an automobile, which transfers the heat from the liquid engine coolant to the air pulled through the radiator by the fan.

What device converts chemical energy into mechanical energy?

An internal combustion engine is a device that converts chemical energy, typically from fossil fuels like gasoline or diesel, into mechanical energy. This energy is used to power vehicles, machinery, and other mechanical systems.


What device converts heat energy to work?

A heat engine, such as a steam turbine or internal combustion engine, is a device that converts heat energy into mechanical work. This process typically involves the expansion of a high-temperature gas or fluid to produce movement that can be harnessed to perform useful tasks.


What is a motor converts thermal energy to mechanical energy?

A motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy is called a heat engine. Heat engines operate by using a temperature difference to generate work, such as a steam engine or an internal combustion engine. The thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through the expansion of a working fluid.


What is a device that converts thermal energy into work?

A device that converts thermal energy into work is called a heat engine. Heat engines take thermal energy from a heat source, such as combustion or nuclear reactions, and convert it into mechanical work through processes like expansion of gases or steam. Examples include steam engines and internal combustion engines.


What requires energy that is not a living thing?

A running car engine requires energy but is not a living thing. The engine converts fuel into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.
