Answer:
Waste heat is the unused heat given to the surrounding environment (in the form of thermal energy) by a heat engine in a thermodynamic process in which it converts heat to useful work. The second law of thermodynamics states that waste heat must be produced when converting a temperature difference into mechanical energy (which is often turned into electrical energy in power plants). Waste heat is inevitable for any heat engine and the amount it produces compared to the amount of input heat are factors that make up its thermal efficiency.
