Heat engines use heat to do work?
Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.
Is it possible to construct a heat engine that produces no thermal pollution?
Atmospheric engines, or 'Stirling' engines, can make use of waste or naturally occuring heat differences, to work.
Why do you have different types of engines?
Because different engines have different advantages. Steam engines can be run from anything that burns, but are big and heavy. 2-stroke (gasoline) engines has great power-to-weight ratio, but tend to use a lot of fuel and create a lot of emissions. 4-stroke Diesel engines tend to run rougher and don't rev as high as gasoline engines but are more fuel efficient and often have more torque.

Why does the Titanic have chimleys?
The Titanic had funnels to get rid of low pressure steam after it had been used to drive the engines.

Who was the officer who called the reverse engines when the titanic came?
I don't know what you mean. If you mean who could operate the engines then any senior officer while he was on watch. If you mean who was the officer who reversed the engines when Titanic hit the ice burg then it is 1st officer William Murdoch.
