Abstract

The article analyses the processes of heat circulation in the plate regularly supplying the varying flow of heat. The construction of the plate where the heat energy is transformed into mechanical work is presented. Applying the method of idealization the working principle and the principal construction of engine converting heat to mechanical work are introduced. The thermodynamic cycle of engine with the processes within are examined. With temperature change by 1°C the thermal efficiency coefficient of engine will be below 0.0034. The theoretical cycle of heat transference into mechanical energy does not encounter the loss of energy. This results from the assumption that after having activated the circulation processes in the border layer and performed a certain mechanical work finally the mechanical energy is reconverted to heat.
