It is used to evaluate how efficient an engine converts the heat from a fuel to mechanical energy.
The generic term is "heat engine". Most engines - for example, car engines - are in this category.
Motor is device which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy,where as generator converts mechanical energy to electrical energy
Internally, they're pretty much the same. The difference is the operation expected of it - a hydraulic pump converts mechanical energy to fluid energy, whereas a hydraulic motor converts hydraulic energy to mechanical energy.

No. It converts electrical energy into light and thermal energy only.
An engine is a motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical work.
because it converts thermal energy to mechanical works
A motor that converts thermal energy to mechanical energy is called a heat engine. Heat engines operate by using a temperature difference to generate work, such as a steam engine or an internal combustion engine. The thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy through the expansion of a working fluid.
An internal combustion engine converts chemical energy into Thermal Energy, and converts thermal energy into mechanical energy via the pistons, connecting rods, and crankshaft .
