The forms of energy that contribute to the internal energy of a system
are sensible, latent, chemical, and nuclear energy.
Heat, internal energy, and thermal energy are related to each other by
thermal energy being used to describe both latent and sensible forms
of internal energy, and by heat or heat transfer describing the transfer
of energy due to a temperature difference on the microscopic level.
Mechanical energy is energy that can be completely and directly
converted to mechanical work through the use of a mechanical
mechanism. Thermal energy differs because it cannot be completely
and directly converted to mechanical work. The forms of mechanical
energy of a fluid stream are flow, kinetic, and potential energy.
