In General, a heat engine is a SYSTEM in which:
point 1. It absorbs heat from a Higher Temperature Source
point 2. It converts some of this energy into work
point 3. It rejects the remainder energy to a Lower Temperature sink
Remember:
There is no machine or engine that works 100% efficient because not all the heat that is absorbed is converted into work.
