For a digital heat anticipator, a bimetallic strip is a piece of metal made by laminating two different types of metal together. The metals that make up the strip expand and contract when they're heated or cooled. Each type of metal has its own particular rate of expansion, and the two metals that make up the strip are chosen so that the rates of expansion and contraction are different. When this coiled strip is heated, the metal on the inside of the coil expands more and the strip tends to unwind. The center of the coil is connected to the temperature-adjustment lever, and the Mercury switch is mounted to the end of the coil so that when the coil winds or unwinds, it tips the mercury switch one way or the other.

Which describes the work done by the heat engine?

A heat engine converts heat energy into mechanical work. It operates by taking in heat from a high-temperature source, using it to do work, and then releasing the remaining heat to a low-temperature sink. The efficiency of a heat engine is the ratio of the useful work output to the heat input.
