Classification of Heat Engine

Heat engine may be characterized by the following:

A
  1. It absorbs heat energy from higher temperature source
  2. Some of heat absorbed will be converted into mechanical work
  3. The remaining heat that is not converted into mechanical workwill be rejected to
    the lower temperature sink

Q

In this engine, the combustion process takes place outside the cycle boundaries and the thermal energy (heat) is transfer to the working fluid through heat transfer. It uses different source for different type of cycle such as furnace, heat recovery steam generator, geothermal well and nuclear reactor

  1. Power Plant that uses steam as working fluid i.e. coal power plant, geothermal power
    plant, nuclear power plant, combined cycle power plant, solar power plants, etc.
  2. In a closed cycle gas turbine, which uses secondary fluid such as helium, hydrogen,
    air or argon etc.

Q

In this engine, the combustion takes place within the cycle boundaries and used as the direct motive force. In an internal combustion engine, to generate useful mechanical energy, the thermodynamic expansion of the high temperature and pressure gases, which are produced by the combustion, directly applies force to a movable component of the engine.
