Soojusmootor

Soojusmootor, also known as a heat engine, is a device that converts heat into mechanical work. It operates on the principle of thermodynamics, specifically the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from a hotter to a colder body. Soojusmootor works by transferring heat from a hot reservoir to a working fluid, causing it to expand and do work. This work is then used to drive a mechanical device, such as a piston or turbine. After doing work, the working fluid is cooled and returned to the hot reservoir, completing the cycle. The efficiency of a soojusmootor is determined by the temperature difference between the hot and cold reservoirs, with higher temperature differences generally resulting in higher efficiencies. There are several types of soojusmootor, including internal combustion engines, steam engines, and Stirling engines, each with its own unique design and operating principles. Soojusmootor plays a crucial role in various industries, including power generation, transportation, and refrigeration.
