    The document explains how heat engines work by transferring heat from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir, converting thermal energy to mechanical energy. Heat engines are more efficient with a large temperature difference between the reservoirs. The efficiency can be calculated using the formula provided. An activity asks students to identify energy transformations that occur in a coal-fired power plant.

    Heat energy and energy transformation make heat engines work

    The diagram above shows an example of an internal heat engine. Another type is an
    external combustion engine, an example of which is a steam engine. External combustion
    engines are no longer used in transportation, but they continue to be used in power plants.
    Heat engines – both internal and external, converts thermal energy into mechanical energy.
    In other words, it uses heat to do work.
    Heat flows from a region of higher temperature (hot reservoir) to a region of lower
    temperature (cold reservoir). Heat engines also operate based on this principle. Heat
    engines bring a working substance, such as steam, or fuel-air mixture, from a higher state
    temperature to a lower state temperature. Engines are more efficient when there is a huge
    difference between the temperatures of the hot and cold reservoir. The efficiency of an
    engine can be calculated using the following formula:
    𝐸𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 = 𝑄𝐻−𝑄𝐶 𝑄𝐻 𝑥100 or 𝐸𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑦 = 1 − 𝑇𝐶 𝑇𝐻
    Where 𝑄𝐻 = energy removed by heat or energy in the hot reservoir
    𝑄𝐶 = energy added by heat or energy in the cold reservoir
    𝑇𝐻= absolute temperature in the hot reservoir (unit: Kelvin)
    𝑇𝐶= absolute temperature in the cold reservoir (unit: Kelvin)
