One common method is for the heat to be used to generate steam in a turbine. The steam is allowed to escape from the turbine in specific directions. The force of the steam leaving in one direction causes an equal force which will move the turbine in the opposite direction. The rotational motion of the turbine is [rotational] mechanical energy. This energy can be used to drive machines which can convert the rotational action into linear action - if required.

Can heat energy change into mechanical energy?
It will still be heat energy, but it can be converted to mechanical energy
How heat energy is converted to mechanical energy in your body?
It isn't. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
What is the maximum amount of mechanical energy that can be converted to heat?
Why should there be a maximum? If there is friction, ALL the mechanical energy will eventually be converted to heat.
What is heat energy and steam energy converted to?
mechanical energy
When a car is driven the chemical energy in gasoline converted into?
Chemical energy is converted into heat energy which is then converted into mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is converted into heat energy when?
... friction occurs.
How is mechanical energy conserved?
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.

Where does the energy go?
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).
Can one form of energy be converted to another?
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.
Where does the lost energy go?
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).
What kind of energy can be converted into heat light mechanical sound and chemical energy?
Kinetic energy
When mechanical energy is lost due to friction it becomes?
It is converted into thermal energy, or heat.
