Heat Engine Principles and Placement by aminsubri is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Heat engines convert thermal or chemical energy into mechanical work by exploiting the properties of a working substance to transfer heat from a high temperature source to a lower temperature sink. They are very versatile as the heat source can come from many energy forms like combustion. For optimal efficiency, heat engines should be placed either above or below the pinch temperature in a process
