Could a simple machine such as a lever, a pulley system or a hydraulic jack be considered a heat engine?
Sylvia, Katherine, or whoever,
To quote one of our very good math and science tutors: “You will find here at Jiskha that long series of questions, posted with no evidence of effort or thought by the person posting, will not be answered. We will gladly respond to your future questions in which your thoughts are included.”
My suggestion is that you go back into each question you posted and let the physics tutors know what YOU THINK so far.
