The heat engine can convert internal energy of sea water if there is a sink at temperature lower than temperature of sea water. Since there is no such sink and hence a ship can not use the internal energy of sea water to operate the engine.

How does a closed system steam engine operate and what are its key features?

A closed system steam engine operates by heating water to create steam, which then expands and pushes a piston to generate mechanical energy. The key features of a closed system steam engine include a boiler to heat the water, a piston to convert the steam's energy into motion, and a condenser to cool and re-circulate the water.


How can thermal energy be used to make kinetic energy?

Thermal energy can be used to make kinetic energy by converting it into mechanical energy through a heat engine, such as a steam engine or internal combustion engine. The thermal energy causes a substance, like water or gas, to expand and create pressure, which can then be used to drive a mechanical system and generate kinetic energy.

Which do you think contains more internal energya teaspoon of boiling water or a pan full of water at 50c?

A pan full of water at 50°C contains more internal energy than a teaspoon of boiling water because internal energy is related to both temperature and mass. The pan has more water (greater mass) at a lower temperature compared to the boiling water, so it would have more total internal energy.
