 HEAT ENGINE

Heat engine is a device which transforms the

chemical energy of a fuel into thermal energy and
uses this energy to produce mechanical work.
Two types of heat engine are

 External combustion engine

 Internal combustion engine

Asst. Prof. Md. Arifuzzaman, Department of Mechanical Engineering, KUET, Khulna 9203
 EXTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

 Chemical energy of fuel produces heat by

combustion of air and fuel
 Product of combustion transfers heat to working

fluid
 Working fluid transfers its energy to produce

mechanical work
Examples:
Steam engine
Steam turbine
Closed cycle gas turbine

 INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

 Chemical energy of fuel produces heat by combustion

of air and fuel
 Products of combustion act as working fluid and
transfers its energy to produce mechanical work
Examples:
Petrol engine
Diesel engine
Gas engine
Open cycle gas turbine
Jet engine and Rocket engine
