1. Energy conversion

The conversion of energy in thermal machines, whether in heat engines (reciprocating engines, steam power plants, gas turbines, turbojets) or heat generators (refrigeration machines, heat pumps), is based on the two principles of thermodynamics: conservation of energy [BE 8 005] and the natural evolution of systems or non-conservation of entropy [BE 8 007] .

1.1 Energy conservation

Limiting ourselves to mechanical and thermal energies, the principle of conservation of...
