Heat can be used to generate steam. Steam, under pressure, can be made to push against pistons or to drive a turbine. The first generates linear motion and the second rotational motion.
It will still be heat energy, but it can be converted to mechanical energy
It isn't. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
Why should there be a maximum? If there is friction, ALL the mechanical energy will eventually be converted to heat.
mechanical energy
Chemical energy is converted into heat energy which is then converted into mechanical energy
... friction occurs.
It isn't. Sooner or later some mechanical energy will be wasted and converted to heat. It is also possible to convert other types of energy into mechanical energy.It isn't.

energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).
Yes, it can be converted into another kind of Energy. Example: The chemical energy of petroleum is converted to mechanical energy in a car engine with some loss as heat and sound energy. The mechanical energy is converted to kinetic energy.
energy is never lost. It is either converted from one form of energy to another (from heat to mechanical, from mechanical to electric, from electric to heat).
Kinetic energy
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
