Heat engines use heat to do work?
Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.
Is it possible to construct a heat engine that produces no thermal pollution?
Atmospheric engines, or 'Stirling' engines, can make use of waste or naturally occuring heat differences, to work.
Is 100 horsepower electric motor a heat engine?
No. electric motors aren't heat engines.
Why are heat engines important?
Heat engine is the gate way of transform thermal energy into another form of easy access energy. It allow us the refrigeration cycle and come the air condition, Popsicle and the refrigerator. It would take at least 3 times the electricity to heat up over winter compare to the transformation of electricity to heat by a heat engines. Our vehicle is operated base on heat engines principle and separated the medieval era with comfortness of modern society.
What are the two types of heat engines?
internal and external combustion engine

If you occasionally stir water does it heat faster?
who knows fact not theory

Why most heat produced by heat engines are tranffered to the environment?
According to the theory of heat engines (read about "Carnot cycle" for more details), heat can not be converted 100% to other forms of energy. The remaining energy gets transferred from the "reservoir" of higher temperature, to the "reservoir" of lower temperature. The latter would be the environment. For example, if the heat engine works at 600 Kelvin, and the environment has a temperature of 300 Kelvin, in theory half the heat of the higher-temperature reservoir can be used. However, real engines have a lower efficiency than the theoretical maximum according to Carnot.
What has the author John Scott Haldane written?
John Scott Haldane has written: 'The theory of heat-engines including the action of muscles'
What is a good hypothesis for insects light vs heat?
A hypothesis is a prediction on what you think will happen. For experiments on insects being attracted to light or heat, a hypothesis could be that insects are attracted to light over heat.
What is a hypothesis for which metal absorbs heat the most?
A hypothesis is a guess based on what you know. Which metal do YOU think will absorb heat the most? Write it as a statement and that will be your hypothesis: "I think _____ will absorb heat the most." It doesn't matter if your hypothesis is right or wrong, just that you have a guess.Of course, then you need to test your hypothesis and actually find out which metal does!
Why do engines get discolored?
engines get discolored because of the heat . the heat comes from combustion from gass and air
Does heat engines use heat to do work?
by engine
Does car works on heat produced by petrol when it is burnt?
Yes. Gasoline and diesel engines are both heat engines.
Heat engines use heat to do work?
Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.
