Energy can basically be divided in two groups: thermal and nonthermal.

In principle nonthermal energy can be transformed 100 % in to any other kind of

nonthermal energy or thermal energy.

For the case of thermal energy only a part of it can be transformed into a nonthermal energy through a 'Heat Engine' according to thermodynamics 2nd law.

Example of a nonthermal energy is mechanical energy of which potential energy ( owed to the position of a body in a gravity field, or given to a body by a spring or

something similar), and kinetic energy of a macroscopic body ( molecules kinetic energy in gases and liquids are not included here, they are part of the body's thermal energy) belong to it.

Sum of kinetic energy and potential energy?

The sum of kinetic energy and potential energy in a system is the total mechanical energy of the system. This concept is described by the conservation of mechanical energy, which states that in the absence of external forces, the total mechanical energy of a system remains constant. The sum of kinetic and potential energy can be formulated as: Total mechanical energy = Kinetic energy + Potential energy.
