What are examples for mechanical heat energy?
As far as I know, there is no such thing as "mechanical heat energy"; there is mechanical energy, and there is heat energy.
What is a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy?
The heat engine burns a fuel in order to create heat. This heat is then transferred in mechanical energy which creates motion.
Express 60.1 cal of energy in units of joules?
The mechanical equivalent of heat is 4.2 Joules/calorie, so 60.1 calories = 252.42 Joules
What is the mechanical energy of an object?
Mechanical energy is heat light and kinetic energy but instead of saying something has heat light and kinetic energy we just say mechanical! :)
What does heat produce?
Mechanical energy
What is physical significance of joule's constant?
It is the mechanical equivalent of heat.
What directly causes mechanical motion?
The application of HEAT, in any of it's Forms; heat to overcome Inertia.
What has the author J B Pinkerton written?
J. B. Pinkerton has written: 'The heat pump, its practical application'

How do you convert heat to mechanical?
In some refrigeration systems, mechanical energy is converted to heat energy by mechanically compressing a refrigerant, by means of a compressor; and since refrigerants have a fixed pressure-temperature relationship, much like saturated steam, altering the pressure of a refrigerant correspondingly alters its temperature. I've read of other methods utilizing friction, which is itself mechanical energy in the more pure and direct sense rather than the operation of a mechanical device which itself is utilizing electrical energy, but the compressor example is the only practical real-world application of this nature in common, everyday use that I can think of.
How hot is a joule?
The mechanical equivalent of heat is 4.2 Joules per calorie, so 4.2 Joules can heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree C.

Define what do you mean by mechanical engineering and mention where are the application area of mechanical engineering mention at least in manufacturing and power production?
Mechanical engineering is concerned with the design, construction, and operation of power plants, engines, and machines. It deals mostly with things that move. One common way of dividing mechanical engineering is into heat utilization and machine design. The generation, distribution, and use of heat is applied in boilers, heat engines, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Machine design is concerned with hardware, including that making use of heat processes.
Can heat energy change into mechanical energy?
It will still be heat energy, but it can be converted to mechanical energy

What does the heat does?
Mechanical energy
What is Application of heat of reaction to commercial and industrial processes?
