1. Heat source: This is where the heat energy is supplied to the engine. It could be a combustion chamber, nuclear reactor, or any other source of heat.
2. Working substance: This is the material or substance that absorbs the heat energy from the heat source and converts it into mechanical work. Common working substances include steam, gas, or liquid.
3. Heat exchanger: This component transfers heat energy from the heat source to the working substance. It helps maintain the temperature difference needed for the engine to operate efficiently.
4. Piston or turbine: This is the component that converts the heat energy into mechanical work. In a piston engine, the piston moves up and down to generate mechanical work, while in a turbine engine, the turbine blades rotate to produce work.
5. Cooling system: This component helps remove excess heat from the engine to prevent overheating. It could be a radiator, cooling fins, or any other cooling mechanism.
6. Exhaust system: This component removes the waste heat and gases produced during the engine's operation. It could include a muffler, exhaust pipe, and other components.
7. Control system: This component regulates the flow of heat energy and working substance within the engine to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. It could include valves, sensors, and other control mechanisms.
