Soojusmootorite
Soojusmootorid, commonly referred to as heat engines, are devices that convert thermal energy into mechanical work. This process typically involves a working fluid that undergoes a cycle of expansion and compression, driven by temperature differences. The fundamental principle behind their operation is the second law of thermodynamics, which states that heat naturally flows from a hotter region to a colder region.
The basic components of most heat engines include a heat source, a working substance, and a heat
There are various types of heat engines, broadly categorized into internal combustion engines and external combustion
The efficiency of a heat engine is limited by the Carnot efficiency, which is the theoretical maximum
