A Carnot heat engine is a hypothetical engine that operates on the reversible Carnot cycle.

In the process of going through this cycle, the system may perform work on its surroundings, thereby acting as a heat engine.

The system may be worked upon by an external force, and in the process, it can transfer thermal energy from a cooler system to a warmer one, thereby acting as a refrigerator or heat pump rather than a heat engine.

Carnot engine diagram ( modern )-where heat flows from a high temperature T < sub > H </ sub > furnace through the fluid of the " working body " ( working substance ) and into the cold sink T < sub > C </ sub >, thus forcing the working substance to do mechanical work W on the surroundings, via cycles of contractions and expansions.

The figure at right shows a block diagram of a generic heat engine, such as the Carnot engine.

The expected increase of fuel efficiency of the engine ( caused by the higher temperature, as shown by Carnot's theorem ) could not be verified experimentally ; it was found that the heat transfer on the hot ceramic cylinder walls is higher than the transfer to a cooler metal wall.

In an auto-ignition diesel engine, there is no electrical sparking plug ; the heat of compression raises the temperature of the mixture to its auto-ignition point.

The Diesel is a heat engine: it converts heat into work.

A diesel engine ( also known as a compression-ignition engine ) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition to burn the fuel, which is injected into the combustion chamber.

Diesel designed many heat engines, including a solar-powered air engine.

In 1893 he described a " slow-combustion engine " that first compressed air thereby raising its temperature above the igniting-point of the fuel, then gradually introducing fuel while letting the mixture expand " against resistance sufficiently to prevent an essential increase of temperature and pressure ", then cutting off fuel and " expanding without transfer of heat ".

Though best known for his invention of the pressure-ignited heat engine that bears his name, Rudolf Diesel was also a well-respected thermal engineer and a social theorist.

With its high specific heat capacity, water acts as a temperature-stabilizing heat reservoir, and land areas near large bodies of water — especially the oceans — experience less variation in temperature.

The North Pole is significantly warmer than the South Pole because it lies at sea level in the middle of an ocean ( which acts as a reservoir of heat ), rather than at altitude in a continental land mass.

This is rather high considering its relatively high altitude of about 1350 metres and is due mainly to its sheltered valley position, which acts as a heat trap and cuts it off from cool southerly and south-easterly air masses for much of the year.

The water at the darker coloured beaches is significantly warmer because the lava acts as a heat absorber.

Also acts as a generalization of heat flux, which is equal to the radiative flux when restricted to the infrared spectrum.

More recent designs use the engine heat only indirectly: A sensor detects engine heat and varies electrical current to a small heating element, which acts upon the bimetallic spring to control its tension, thereby controlling the choke.

A dog's tongue also acts as a heat regulator.

The wall predominantly acts to retard heat transfer from the exterior to the interior during the day.

On the other hand, ground-source heat pumps ( GSHP ) benefit from the moderated temperature underground, as the ground acts naturally as a store of thermal energy.

This level of heat, when combined with the Bremsstrahlung X-rays, acts synergistically to increase the amount and rate of degradation for certain materials.

The metal case ( or the " jacket " as many people call it ) of the spark plug withstands the torque of tightening the plug, serves to remove heat from the insulator and pass it on to the cylinder head, and acts as the ground for the sparks passing through the central electrode to the side electrode.

Because warmer air rises and cooler air settles, the entrance area acts as a cold trap whereas the sleeping area will hold whatever heat is generated by a stove, lamp or body heat.

The thermic fluid, which acts as a heat carrier, is heated up in the heater and circulated through the user equipment.

The immense depth of Crater Lake acts as a heat reservoir that absorbs and traps sunlight, maintaining the lake temperature at an average of 55 ° F ( 12. 8 ° C ) on the surface and 38 ° F ( 3. 3 ° C ) at the bottom throughout the year.

Blood flowing through blood vessels acts as a convective fluid and helps to prevent any buildup of excess heat inside the tissues of the body.

A heat pipe is a passive device constructed in such a way that it acts as though it has extremely high thermal conductivity.

The inner lining acts as a heat insulator and draft and pest excluder.

The development of anticyclones aloft occurs in warm core cyclones, such as tropical cyclones, when latent heat caused by the formation of clouds is released aloft, which increases air temperatures and the resultant atmospheric thickness of the layer, which increases high pressure aloft which acts to evacuate their outflow.

This refrigerates the body and tips of the tool to such a degree that it acts as a " thermal sponge ", sucking up the heat from the tool – chip interface.

This makes the hairs stand on end which acts as an insulating layer, trapping heat.

Further, the concrete elements bridge from the outdoors to the indoors, conducting heat from the interior to the exterior, where the concrete acts as a heat fin in a phenomenon called a Thermal bridge.

Even today range riders will come upon mummified bodies of men who attempted nothing more difficult than a twenty-mile hike and slowly lost direction, were tortured by the heat, driven mad by the constant and unfulfilled promise of the landscape, and who finally died.

Half crazed by the weight dragging, the dust, and the heat, the horse leaped our wall, dashing out the rider's brains against it, and leaving him lying there among us -- while the horse crashed away through the brush.

This work gave a heat of formation of aluminum fluoride which closely substantiates a value which had been determined by a less direct method, and raises this property to 15 percent above that accepted a few years ago.

This project was carried out under sponsorship of the Ballistic Missile Division of the Air Research and Development Command, U.S. Air Force, and had as its goal the investigation of the transport by diffusion of the heat energy of chemical binding.

Heart conditions and high blood pressure escape the stresses brought on by oppressive heat.

The latter measures the heat carried away by the bloodstream as an indication of the velocity of the blood flow.

One could also add to these analogies that steel loses its magnetism by heat, which proves that steel becomes a better conductor through a rise in temperature, just as electrical bodies do.

In free-burning electric arcs, for instance, approximately 90% of the total arc power is transferred to the anode giving rise to local heat fluxes in excess of Af as measured by the authors -- the exact value depending on the arc atmosphere.

The higher heat transfer rates at the anode compared with those at the cathode can be explained by the physical phenomena occurring in free burning arcs.
