Abstract

The relations governing the conversion of chemical energy to mechanical or electrical energy are examined. It is shown that there is no fundamental disadvantage in having a heat engine as part of the conversion system. The free energy change of the chemical reaction limits the upper temperature at which heat can be supplied to a heat engine.
