This paper aims to evaluate the social impact of the heat engine and analyze the application of heat engines in the future. This paper starts with some background information on heat engines and the challenges of gas pollution and gas shortage. The concepts of efficiency and environmental friendliness of the heat engine are widely discussed, which speeds up the development of several kinds of heat engines. We discuss the application of heat engines in different industries from three main aspects: agriculture, marine engine, and aviation. They improve our daily life and provide the required energy to the community. Thermoacoustic Heat Engine (TAHE), Liquid Air Cycle Engines (LACE), and a new class of Heat engine without the expulsion of reaction mass are introduced in this paper. Furthermore, the article will cover some futures. One is artificial intelligence, and another one is about biofuel, which helps heat engines to have higher efficiency and less pollution, and also how heat engines are involved in the next decade.
