What else can I help you with?
A heat engine is able to convert its entire heat source into work?
False
What is the source of energy in a steam engine?
The energy source in a steam engine is the heat source that converts water into steam thus creating pressure. The heat source itself can be a coal, wood, gas or petroleum burner but can also be something different like a solar panel or a nuclear reactor (most nuclear reactors are themselves steam engines-generators).
Is it possible to construct a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere?
is it possible to construt a heat engine that will not expel heat into the atmosphere
When should you use em heat on the thermostat?
EM (or emergency heat) can be used if you have a problem with your other heat source such as a heat pump. In most cases, you will not need this but what it does is bi-passes the primary heat source and allows your secondary heat source (normally your furnace) to become the primary.
What problem does steam engine solve?
The steam engine helped to power the Industrial Revolution. Before steam power, most factories and mills were powered by water, wind, horse, or man. Water was a good source of power, but factories had to be located near a river.
Has a heat source located outside the engine?
External combustion engine is the answer you're looking for.
What is a source of heat in an engine?
Friction
Is a engine in a car the same as a heat engine?
A car engine is a heat engine, but there are various types of heat engines outside the realm of car and truck engines.
A heat engine is able to convert its entire heat source into work?
False
Where is the heat sencer located on the engine?
on the top
What temperature is required to transfer waste heat to the environment for a heat engine to be 100 percent efficient?
A heat engine can never be 100% efficient due to the second law of thermodynamics, which states that some heat energy will always be lost to the surroundings. The temperature required for maximum efficiency is the temperature of the heat source for the engine. The efficiency of a heat engine is determined by the temperature difference between the heat source and the environment.
A heat engine is unable to convert its entire heat source into work?
False (APEX)
Which of the following methods is the most effective way to improve the efficiency of a heat engine?
Increasing the temperature of the heat source is the most effective way to improve the efficiency of a heat engine.
Where is the starter on a Hyundai Santa Fe located?
On a Hyundai Santa Fe, the starter is located on the top of the engine. The engine is located next to the heat pump.
How is steam produced to run engine?
By using a heat source to boil water.
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.
A source of heat and power?
A combustion engine powered by fossil fuels is a common source of heat and power. It generates energy by burning fuel to produce heat, which is then converted into mechanical power.
