Definition that contains mechanical energy
- motor machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy and so imparts motion
- generator engine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction
- turbine rotary engine in which the kinetic energy of a moving fluid is converted into mechanical energy by causing a bladed rotor to rotate
- kinetic energy the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its motion
- external-combustion engine a heat engine in which ignition occurs outside the chamber (cylinder or turbine) in which heat is converted to mechanical energy
- p.e. the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its position; stored energy
- gas turbine turbine that converts the chemical energy of a liquid fuel into mechanical energy by internal combustion; gaseous products of the fuel (which is burned in compressed air) are expanded through a turbine
- potential energy the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its position; stored energy
- k.e. the mechanical energy that a body has by virtue of its motion
