Thermal energy that is not converted into work by a heat engine is called?
waste heat
In a machine is work output is less than work input because some energy is converted into thermal energy?
The missing energy is converted into some form of unusable energy. It may be heat (thermal energy), but it may be other types of energy as well.
Is heat energy?
It would be more correct to say 'heat is energy'. Energy is the capability to do work, and comes in many different forms, including thermal. Thermal energy can be converted to mechanical or electrical energy through steam or internal combustion engines. Thermal energy is measured in calories or BTU, and there is a mechanical equivalent of heat, 4.2 joules per calorie
What is the difference between temperature and thermal eenergy?
Thermal energy can be used to do work. Temperature cannot be used to do work. Thermal energy is actually heat energy in transit.
What is the study of relationships between heat work and thermal energy?
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
What is thermal energy converted into work called?

What describes thermal energy that is not converted into work by a heat engine?
waste heat
When a match is burned chemical energy is converted to thermal energy and what other kind of energy?
What is work the ability to cause
The ability to do work is called?
The ability to do work is called energy. Energy exists in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, and chemical, and can be converted from one form to another.
How does ocean termal energy work?
It isn't quite clear what you mean with "work". There is a lot of thermal energy in the oceans; but most of that energy can't be used - can't be converted to useful energy. To use thermal energy - to convert it to something useful - there has to be a temperature difference between different places.
The percentage of energy from a fuel that is actually used to perform work is its?
That is called efficiency. An efficiency of 1 (or 100%) means that all the energy is converted into useful work.That is called efficiency. An efficiency of 1 (or 100%) means that all the energy is converted into useful work.That is called efficiency.

Can you get more energy out of fuels if you increase the percentage of energy used for work?
The percentage of energy converted into useful work is called the EFFICIENCY.
What energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?
Final end of all energy lost is thermal energy. Thermal energy is the least valuable energy. The concept of entropy is rely on the loss of working capability of the system to the thermal energy. In general, the term for thermal energy lost can be called waste heat.
Can thermal energy be made to do useful work?
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
