Why is coal a good energy source?
It is easily found and extracted, it burns easily and gives a good thermal energy output, better than wood for example.
A solid fuel which can be used in a boiler or an open fire?
One example of a solid fuel is coal. Coal was used in many early factories during the beginning of the industrial, but was phased out because it was not a clean burning fuel source.
Is coal a better fuel than wood?
Usually coal is a more appealing fuel source than wood. It, for one thing, burns MUCH faster then wood does. Also, it is cheaper, and more abundant. So overall, i believe that coal is your answer.But coal is a fossil fuel which takes atleast thousands of years ti form where as wood comes in 10 years of minimum
What is the source of biomass energy?
the sources of biomass energy are garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels.
What energy source powered the steam engine?
Other to coal I suppose you mean. Burning of any fuel like oil, wood, etc. Nuclear reactors. I suspect solar energy would make steam. It would be possible to use natural steam from deep in the ground.
What is the original source of energy for energy recourse such as wind wood oil and coal?
The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy on earth.
What isn't a renewable source of energy?
Oil Coal Natural gas Wood
Why was coal a more appealing fuel source than wood?
It produces more energy
When did coal replace wood as a chief energy source?
Coal began to replace the wood in the 1800s because the wood became scarce in some places. in the 1900s coal replace wood as a chief energy source because of its many used such as the fuel for steam engines which powered the many railroad engines popular during the period, and fuel for the steam turbines used in the production for electricity.
What nonrenewable energy source?
nonrenewable energy sources are sources that are depleted sources as fossil fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, and oil)
Energy stored in wood and coal came from the same source what is it?
Basically energy from the sun enables plants to grow by photosynthesis, using chemicals in the soil and atmosphere. Coal is the fossilised remains of ancient plants.
Why is coal a good energy source?
It is easily found and extracted, it burns easily and gives a good thermal energy output, better than wood for example.
Images of conventional source of energy?
Conventional sources of energy include coal, oil, natural gas, hydropower, and wood. Photos of these sources of energy are widely available on the Internet.
Where does coal rank in terms of energy?
after wood
In 1990s what replaced coal as the most important energy source in Europe?
In Europe they replaced it with wood! Which I think is very strange!( in some ways )
What are the different types of renewable energy?
Any source of power that will regenerate itself over time. Examples are solor, wind, wood, and coal.
Where did the energy in coal originate?
Not sure if this will answer your question, but I'll give it a shot. It's less about the fact that is is coal and more about the fact that coal gives off heat. When coal was first being used as a heat source, it was cheaper than wood and there was a lot of it. So really the origin of the energy is in the heat that the coal generates when on fire and less about the coal itself.
