Description
A heat engine, or more simply, an engine, is a device that extracts energy from its environment in the form of heat and does useful work. At the heart of every engine is a working substance. In a steam engine, the working substance is water, in both its vapor and its liquid form. In an automobile engine, the working substance is a gasoline–air mixture. If an engine is to do work
on a sustained basis, the working substance must operate in a cycle; that is, the working substance must pass through a closed
series of thermodynamic processes, called strokes, returning again and again to each state in its cycle.

Education is about developing a person into an autonomous rational self who can discern his or her interests, is able to follow moral imperatives if they are rationally justified or disagree with ideas. If that is not done, if the teacher does not hold these aims of education, then we can say that such a teacher is not educating this person. The teacher might be indoctrinating this person.
