What else can I help you with?
How are steam engines diesel engines and electric engines similar and different?
Steam engines and diesel engines are heat engines. An electric motor isn't an engine - it converts and transfers power, but doesn't actually create it.
What has the author John Scott Haldane written?
John Scott Haldane has written: 'The theory of heat-engines including the action of muscles'
Why are fossil fuels and nuclear fuels similar?
The only similarity is that they are both used to generate electricity through use of heat engines.
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?
by engine
Does car works on heat produced by petrol when it is burnt?
Yes. Gasoline and diesel engines are both heat engines.
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.
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.
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 the difference between internal combustion engine and heat engine?
An internal combustion engine is a type of heat engine that generates mechanical energy by burning fuel inside the engine. A heat engine, on the other hand, is a broader category of engines that convert heat energy into mechanical work through various processes, including combustion, thermodynamic cycles, and heat transfer. In essence, all internal combustion engines are heat engines, but not all heat engines are internal combustion engines.
Are gasoline and Diesel engines heat engines?
Yes, gasoline and diesel engines are heat engines. The energy released by the burning fuel causes the gas in the cylinders to expand and push the pistons, which in turn do work.
