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.


what is a heater an internal combustion engine or a external combustion engine?

A heater can be either an internal combustion engine or an external combustion engine, depending on its design and operation. Internal combustion engines generate heat through the combustion of fuel within the engine itself, while external combustion engines produce heat by burning fuel outside the engine to heat a working fluid. Common examples of heaters include furnaces (external combustion) and car engines (internal combustion). The specific classification depends on how and where the combustion occurs in relation to the heat-producing mechanism.


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.


How does a heat engine differ from steam engine?

A heat engine is a broad term that encompasses any device that converts thermal energy into mechanical work, utilizing various heat sources and cycles. A steam engine, on the other hand, is a specific type of heat engine that primarily uses steam as its working fluid, typically generated by boiling water. While all steam engines are heat engines, not all heat engines are steam engines, as heat engines can also use gases or other fluids in their operation. The principles of operation may vary based on the type of working fluid and thermodynamic cycle employed.


Examples of both 'horizontal' search engines and Vertical' search engines?

Horizontal search engines are general-purpose search engines such as Google and Yahoo. Vertical search engines, meanwhile, are specialized by content such as Trulia, Mocavo and Yelp.

Are refrigerators and air conditioners examples of heat engines?

No, refrigerators and air conditioners are not examples of heat engines. Heat engines typically convert heat into mechanical work, while refrigerators and air conditioners transfer heat from one location to another using a refrigeration cycle.

What is a machine that transforms heat into mechanical energy?

The heat engine burns a fuel in order to create heat. This heat is then transferred in mechanical energy which creates motion.


What is a device that converts thermal energy into work?

A device that converts thermal energy into work is called a heat engine. Heat engines take thermal energy from a heat source, such as combustion or nuclear reactions, and convert it into mechanical work through processes like expansion of gases or steam. Examples include steam engines and internal combustion engines.


What machine or appliance uses thermal energy?

The generic name is "heat engine". Examples include combustion engines, such as the ones used in cars.


Why do engines get discolored?

engines get discolored because of the heat . the heat comes from combustion from gass and air


Does heat engines use heat to do work?

How are heat engines classified?

heat engines are classified on the location of the combustion chamber , if it is outside the whole set up then it is external heat engine and vice versa.


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.
