Heat energy can be converted into mechanical energy through the process of thermal expansion (e.g., steam engines) or by using it to drive a turbine that generates movement (e.g., power plants). In the case of converting heat energy into electrical energy, this can be achieved through thermoelectric generators that utilize the temperature difference to produce electricity.
Mechanical. The conversion of electricity into heat.
When a car is driven, the chemical energy in gasoline is converted into mechanical energy by the engine. The combustion of gasoline in the engine produces heat, which is then converted into kinetic energy that propels the vehicle forward.
Chemical energy from food is converted into mechanical energy and heat when you are active. The mechanical energy is utilized to perform physical tasks and movement, while some of the energy is lost as heat during metabolism.
When coal is burning, chemical energy stored in the coal is converted into heat energy and light energy. The heat energy is used to generate steam that drives turbines, which then converts the energy into electrical energy.
When coal is burned to make steam, the stored chemical energy in the coal is released as heat energy through a combustion reaction. This heat energy is then used to heat water and produce steam, which in turn drives turbines to generate electricity. The thermal energy from burning coal is transformed into mechanical energy and then electrical energy in this process.

Mechanical. The conversion of electricity into heat.
It will still be heat energy, but it can be converted to mechanical energy
It isn't. Chemical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
When a switch is closed, electrical energy is converted into other forms of energy depending on the circuit. For example, in a light bulb circuit, electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. In an electric motor circuit, electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
The electrical energy supplied to an electric motor
When the electric fan is on and revolving, electrical energy is being converted into mechanical energy as the fan blades spin to create airflow. Some electrical energy is also converted into heat energy due to resistance in the wires and motor.
In a windmill, the kinetic energy of the wind is converted into mechanical energy as the blades spin. This mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy by a generator housed within the windmill.
The maximum amount of mechanical energy that can be converted to heat is equal to the total mechanical energy input. In any conversion process, there will always be losses due to inefficiencies, so the actual amount of mechanical energy that is converted to useful heat will be less than the input mechanical energy.
