තාප එන්ජින්

තාපගතිවේදයේ සහ ඉංජිනේරුවේදයේ දී තාප එන්ජින් () යනු තාපය, යාන්ත්‍රික කාර්යයක් කළ හැකි, විශේෂයෙන් ම යාන්ත්‍රික ශක්තිය වැනි, ප්‍රයෝජනවත් ශක්තිය බවට හරවන, පද්ධතියක් වෙයි.Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics, 3rd ed. p. 159, (1985) by G. J. Van Wylen and R. E. Sonntag: "A heat engine may be defined as a device that operates in a thermodynamic cycle and does a certain amount of net positive work as a result of heat transfer from a high-temperature body to a low-temperature body. Often the term heat engine is used in a broader sense to include all devices that produce work, either through heat transfer or combustion, even though the device does not operate in a thermodynamic cycle. The internal-combustion engine and the gas turbine are examples of such devices, and calling these heat engines is an acceptable use of the term."Mechanical efficiency of heat engines, p. 1 (2007) by James R. Senf: "Heat engines are made to provide mechanical energy from thermal energy."
