Can a heat engine convert its entire heat into work?
No, due to the second law of thermodynamics, a heat engine cannot convert all of its heat energy into work. Some heat will always be lost to the surroundings, decreasing the efficiency of the process.
Is it a violation of second law of thermodynamics to convert heat completely into work?
The fluctuation theorem of statistical physics oversees this possibility, but the net result is the expected one. Some experiments with particles show local decrease in entropy. But, again, the net result is the expected one. To build a macro system which violates the law, it's just a matter of building a wall separating two regions of an isolated box filled with a gas. This wall should possess a special property: It allows the gas to pass in a single direction only. Such a system has an overnight capacity of realizing work internally. If external high entropy heat is allowed to enter the system, then work can be executed outside the system. The system "cleans" the input energy. Whoever builds this wall is eligible for a Nobel Prize.
What does a heat engine convert heat in to?
A heat engine converts heat energy into mechanical work, usually in the form of rotating a shaft or driving a piston. This process is governed by the laws of thermodynamics, specifically the conversion of heat into work through the expansion and compression of a working fluid such as steam or gas.
A heat engine is unable to convert its entire heat source into work.?
False (APEX)
A system that does no work but which receives heat from the surroundings has?
A system that does no work but receives heat from the surroundings is referred to as a heat engine. This is because even though the system is not performing any mechanical work, it is still able to convert some of the heat energy it receives into other forms of energy, such as thermal energy.
Can scientists construct an engine that does nothing but convert heat to useful work?
Yes - with certain limitations. You can convert part of the heat - not all of the heat - into useful work, if there is a heat difference. The remainder of the heat (from the hot container) gets passed to the cold container. You CANNOT convert ALL the heat into useful work, nor can you convert heat into useful work if there is no heat difference. All this would contradict the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and it is very unlikely that this law will ever be violated.

A heat engine is able to convert its entire heat source into work?
False
What is the use of steam engine?
To convert heat energy into mechanical work.
A heat engine is unable to convert its entire heat source into work?
False (APEX)
Will the heat work if you completely remove the blend door?
No it becomes an Erect Penis
True or false A heat engine is a device that converts heat into work?
False its not possible to convert all heat into work as some of its being used as energy APEX
Why does it take more heat to boil a substance than to melt it?
The energy required to completely separate the molecules in a liquid and convert them to a gas (boiling), is greater than the energy needed to completely separate the molecules in a solid and convert them to a liquid (melting).
What can light convert to when absorbed?
heat">heatlight can convert to HEAT when absorbed.
