What is a device that converts thermal energy into work?
A heat engine
A heat engine is a device that converts heat energy into mechanical energy?
A Heat Exchanger is a device which is used to transfer heat from one medium to other. A common example is the radiator in an automobile, which transfers the heat from the liquid engine coolant to the air pulled through the radiator by the fan.
What is a device that converts a natural form of energy in to useful work?
A photo voltaic cell
When you rub your hands together on a cold day you use friction to convert what energy?
The friction force converts mechanical energy of the body into heat energy that is released. Work done by mechanical energy=Force x displacement =Heat produced.
Human work converts what energy to mechanical energy?
the answer is chemical energy
A heat engine is a device that converts work into heat?
No, a heat engine is not a device that converts work into heat. It is the opposite, which means it is a device that converts heat into work.
What is a device that converts thermal energy into work?
A heat engine
True or false A heat engine is a device that converts heat into work?
False its not possible to convert all heat into work as some of its being used as energy APEX
What is the difference between heat engine and heat pump?
Heat Engine is the system that converts the Heat energy into mechanical work while Heat pump converts the work into heat
What is the heat engine?
A heat engine is a system that converts heat to usable energy, particularly mechanical energy, which can then be used to do mechanical work

What is a device that converts a natural form of energy in to useful work?
A photo voltaic cell
Why do machines require some extra work that is not useful because of friction?
Friction converts mechanical energy into heat, which is rarely useful, and which can never be recovered in its entirety. Due to conservation of energy, this heat energy is not available for other things, i.e., for useful work.
When you rub your hands together on a cold day you use friction to convert what energy?
The friction force converts mechanical energy of the body into heat energy that is released. Work done by mechanical energy=Force x displacement =Heat produced.
How does friction work in machining?
Converts to heat
Does a motor work?
A motor does not provide energy. It converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. From a circuit standpoint, the motor is considered a load (similar to a resistor). Resistors convert electrical energy to heat energy.
Human work converts what energy to mechanical energy?
the answer is chemical energy
