Machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy?

A ficticious heat engine that works at the maximum theoretical efficiency is called a Carnot engine. Real engines, that obviously work at a lesser efficiency, include the combustion engines found in cars.A ficticious heat engine that works at the maximum theoretical efficiency is called a Carnot engine.

What is the coal energy efficiency?

If it is burned - which is the way such fuels are usually used - the energy efficiency is the energy efficiency of a heat engine. The theoretical maximum efficiency is the Carnot efficiency; the real efficiency will usually be considerably less than that.


Which heat engine has more efficiency?

Carnot's heat engine has more efficiency then the other heat engine but it is assumption. Is is not real. RGUKT IIIT NUZVID: N091528


What is maximum efficiency of stirling engine?

78%


What is thermal efficiency?

Thermal efficiency is the efficiency of a heat engine measured by the ratio of the work done by it to the heat supplied to it.


What is thermal efficiency of petrol engine?

The maximum Thermal Efficiency of Petrol Engine or Gasoline Engine or Otto Cycle Engine is about 25-30%.


What is the definition of thermal efficiency?

the efficiency of a heat engine measured by the ratio of the work done by it to the heat supplied to it.


What happens to the efficiency of a heat engine when the temperature of the reservoir into which heat energy is rejected is lower?

Efficiency would increase.


What is known as carnot heat engin?

carnot's heat heat engine is also known as ideal heat engine.because in carnot's the precess is reversible .Total heat converted into work . The efficiency is maximum for carnot's heat engine.


Why efficiency of carnot heat engine is always greater than that of an actual engine?

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is theoretically always greater than that of an actual engine. The fact that it is impossible to build a thermodynamically reversable engine, which is one of the variables necessary to calculate its superiority to a real heat engine, makes the theorum practical for assessing a real heat engines efficiency only.


What effect if any does this energy transfer have on the overall efficiency of the car engine?

As a "heat engine", a car engine must rid itself of heat to continue. Efficiency of the heat engine depends on the difference in temperature; therefore, as the temperature outside reaches the temperature inside, the engine stops.


What is the rate of heat output of a Carnot engine?

Power Output / [(1/Thermal Efficiency) - 1], where Thermal Efficiency = 1 - Tc/Th
