 Heat energy is a form of energy which transfers among particles in a substance by

means of kinetic energy of those particles. Wherever you are, you are aware of things
that are warm or cold. When deciding what we will where for the day, we pay
attention to how hot or cold it is outside. Heat is everywhere and can be transferred
through three processes known as conduction, convection, and radiation. We have the
five general source of heat energy. The chemical energy stored in the bonds
of chemical compounds. Chemical energy may be released during a chemical
reaction, often in the form of heat; such reactions are called exothermic. Reactions
that require an input of heat to proceed may store some of that energy as chemical
energy in newly formed bonds. The chemical energy in food is converted by the body
into mechanical energy and heat. And the mechanical heat energy  is the sum
of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the macroscopic energy associated with a
system. The principle of conservation of mechanical energy states that if an isolated
system is subject only to conservative forces, then the mechanical energy is constant.
If an object moves in the opposite direction of a conservative net force, the potential
energy will increase; and if the speed of the object changes, the kinetic energy of the
object also changes.  And electrical Heat energy Electrical energy could be considered
as the most convenient form of energy.It could be converted from one form into any
other form.For example we know that a bulb glows when electricity passes through
it ,it is the conversion of electrical energy into light energy.A wire gets heated when
current pass through it for a long time,it is conversion of electrical energy into heat
energy and so on. And Nuclear heat energy is Nuclear energy can be used to
create electricity, but it must first be released from the atom. In the process of nuclear
fission, atoms are split to release that energy. And lastly Solar heat energy It is the
most important of non-conventional sources of energy therefore it is one of the non-
polluting energy and helps in less the greenhouse effect. The method as solar panels
absorb energy from sun to gain heat for water heating. Similarly as we use
the energy of the sun to dry our clothes.
