What does a heat engine convert heat into?
work
Why heat cannot be converted into work and why work can be converted into heat?
A lower order energy cannot be completely coverted into a higher order energy. Heat energy is a lower order energy and work is higher order energy. Therefore it is not possible to convert heat into work without loosing some energy according to the second law of thermodynamics. But a higher order energy can be coverted completely into lower order energy and it will not violate the second law of thermodynamics.
A heat engine is unable to convert its entire heat source into work.?
False (APEX)
Explain whether or not a heat engine could be made 100 percent efficient by eliminating friction?
Even if the friction were totally eliminated, a heat engine still could not convert heat completely into work and be 100 percent efficient. Instead, the efficiency of an internal combustion engine depends on the difference in the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the burning gases in the cylinder and the temperature of the air outside the engine.
Does an iron wire convert heat to electrical energy?
Iron wire is a conductor of heat/electricity only and it is impossible to convert heat to electrical energy by using it.
What does a heat engine convert heat into?
work
Can scientists construct an engine that does nothing but convert heat to useful work?
Yes - with certain limitations. You can convert part of the heat - not all of the heat - into useful work, if there is a heat difference. The remainder of the heat (from the hot container) gets passed to the cold container. You CANNOT convert ALL the heat into useful work, nor can you convert heat into useful work if there is no heat difference. All this would contradict the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and it is very unlikely that this law will ever be violated.

What is the use of steam engine?
To convert heat energy into mechanical work.

False (APEX)
Will the heat work if you completely remove the blend door?
No it becomes an Erect Penis
True or false A heat engine is a device that converts heat into work?
False its not possible to convert all heat into work as some of its being used as energy APEX
What can light convert to when absorbed?
heat">heatlight can convert to HEAT when absorbed.
Why does it take more heat to boil a substance than to melt it?
The energy required to completely separate the molecules in a liquid and convert them to a gas (boiling), is greater than the energy needed to completely separate the molecules in a solid and convert them to a liquid (melting).
How do you turn ice into steam?
Heat it.... The heat will first convert ice into water and will then convert it into steam. You can heat ice in any kettle.....or saucepan.......
