yes, it is a heat engine. A heat engine is one that extracts heat energy and converts it to mechanical energy.
In an open cycle gas turbine, the gases that are produced by combustion go directly into the atmosphere, though the heat produced can sometimes be reclaimed. In a closed cycle gas turbine, the gases produced are reused and are not emitted into the atmosphere.

1. The working gas is compressed in compressor and directed towards the heat exchanger (Air heater), where heat is being added to the compressed gas before it enters the turbine. 2. The heat is supplied by an external source such as a nuclear reactor, or some other heat source. 3. The hot gasses then expend and accelerate through a nozzle which drive the guide vanes of the turbine and then shaft. 4. At last, the remaining exhaust gasses pass through a cooler and directed towards the compressor inlet.
Brayton cycle: It is open cycle. Rankine cycle: It's close cycle. Brayton cycle: Mostly used in gas turbine engine. Rankine cycle: Mostly used in power generation plant. Brayton cycle: Resemble less to Carnot cycle. Rankine cycle: Resemble is more to Carnot cycle.
Depends on what type of gas, plant size and cycle and carriage.

Check the engine thermostat. Its probably stuck open.
Overheating if stuck closed, no engine heat if stuck open.
Check to see that the heat control is working, and water is flowing through the heater core. Make sure that the engine thermostat is not stuck open, and the engine coolant is full.
If the thermostat is stuck open, the radiator is able to cool the antifreeze faster than the engine can heat it.
the engine will never fully warm up, and will not produce heat to the cab area for very long during cold weather
If you are talking about the engine temp then more than likely your thermostat is stuck open or if you recently changed it the heat range is not proper causing it to open prematurely and not allow the engine to heat up. Change the thermostat and this should take care of the problem. Hope this helps. "G"
