Heat energy has the tendency to spread from a higher gradient to a lower gradient. Heat eventually dissipates in the process. Heat is a less ordered
form of energy which means that it is hard to store heat similar to
storing electricity in a battery.
Most
power plants such as geothermal and nuclear, functions because of heat. Heat energy in power plants are converted into mechanical energy in the spinning turbines and the mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy by the dynamos connected to the turbines. In this process, heat energy is transferred through conduction. The geothermal or nuclear heat energy is transferred to water which boils to produce force.
