thermal energy conversion to mechanical energy
Thermal energy conversion to mechanical energy refers to the process of transforming heat energy into mechanical work or motion. This conversion typically involves using heat sources, such as burning fossil fuels or harnessing solar energy, to generate steam or hot gases that can power turbines or engines, which in turn produce useful mechanical work or generate electricity.
