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.
How does a jet engine divert the heat flow to perform work?
Depends on the engines manufacture. most use a bleed air valve which takes air off the low pressure stages. this method of utilizing the heat for other purposes such as deicing the wings or providing heat to the cabin also improves the accleration of the engine.
Why can't the heat generated by a combustion engine can be used as a source of energy instead of cooling engine and wasting it?
What you are after is perpetual motion, which isn't going to work. Any type of energy can be converted to heat, but heat can only partially be converted to energy. Most of the problems stem from trying to remove heat, rather than allowing it to accumulate. Heat is the graveyard of energy. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Some heat from engines can be recovered and used for space heating. The heaters in automobiles do just that. However, more often than not the build up of heat from an engine is more than is desired for auxiliary uses, and it must be discarded to keep from overheating the equipment. Some building emergency generators can use some of that heat in a heat exchanger for heating non-domestic water supplies, but the potential for leaks precludes it from use for domestic water heating.
When should you use em heat on the thermostat?
EM (or emergency heat) can be used if you have a problem with your other heat source such as a heat pump. In most cases, you will not need this but what it does is bi-passes the primary heat source and allows your secondary heat source (normally your furnace) to become the primary.
How do you use heat engine in a sentence?
Friction caused by the movement of cams, cranks and pistons create heat in an engine. The heat from the engine is used to warm radiator water which then is used in the car's heater.
Does heat engines use heat to do work?

Do internal combustion engines use a heat sink?
Many engines use a Heat Sink. The most common are air cooled engines like a lawn mowers, or some motorcycles. The metal fins you see around the spark plug and the cylinder are heat sinks. A heat sink just provides additional surface area for the heat to be exchanged with the cooler temperature of the air.
Air cooled engines use what form of heat transfer to remove most of the heat from their cylinder head and cylinder?
C. Convection
Air-cooled engines use what form of heat transfer to remove most of the heat from their cylinder head and cylinder?
C. Convection
Explain what heat engines do and name the process in which they use to burn fuel?
Combustion
How does fossil fuel work?
You burn it; it gives off heat; you use the heat.
Do diesel engines require spark plugs?
No diesel engines use the "heat of compression" to cause fuel to ignite not electrical ignition.
Can heat be converted other types of energy?
The most common method is to convert the heat into steam and use the steam to drive mechanical devices such as engines and turbines.
How do heat engines use thermal energy and how do refrigerators keep things cold?
Heat engines transform thermal energy to mechanical energy. A refrigerator is a device that transfers thermal energy from inside the refrigerator to the room outside.
Lost all heat from climatronic any ideas?
Heat coils often fail. I suggest using ambient heat from the engine with the "vent" feature. Internal combustion engines use 25% of the energy in gasoline for motivation, the other 75% is wasted as heat.
How does a jet engine divert the heat flow to perform work?
