What is a nuclear generating station?
a place that generates nuclear energy
How is power generated in a power station?
In a power station fuel is burnt to produce heat in the form of steam. This causes the turbine connected to a turbogenerator to spin resulting in the conversion of mechanical spinning energy to electrical energy, generating power.
What type of energy is friction?
Mechanical generating heat
Heat energy is always released during what type of process?
Exothermic
Why is heat energy stored as potential energy while vaporisation?
friction happens during the vapourization process
Why does a power loses a lot of energy during its generating process?
during the rotation of turbine its 65 percent energy is lost as heat
What is a nuclear generating station?
a place that generates nuclear energy
What does a Generating station do?
A generating station transforms one type of energy such as coal or natural gas, to another form of energy, electricity. Remember, matter and energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only converted from one form to another.
How long does it take to start generating electricity in a geothermal energy station?
a long time
Is there a nuclear energy plant in Washington State?
Yes, it is true: Columbia Generating Station.
Does a generating station have energy produced from other types of energy?
Sure - they can't produce energy out of nothing, since that isn't possible.
How does a mitochondria help our body?
They conduct the respiration. It is energy generating process
What does a tidal generating station require to be effective?
Tidal energy can work in only certain locations. A tidal generating station must be in an area where the difference between high and low tides is very large. This means the tidal waters will have a great deal of energy.
Is solar energy nuclear fission or fusion?
The process generating solar energy is one of nuclear fusion.
What is the process of generating electricity from coal?
burn it and it give off heat which is transferred into energy
How does a power station lose a lot of energy during its generating process?
Electric power plant efficiency η is defined as the ratio between the useful electricity output from the generating unit, in a specific time, and the energy value of the energy source supplied to the unit in the same time period.For electricity generation based on steam turbines 65% of all prime energy is wasted as heat.The maximum theoretical energy efficiency is defined in more detail by the Rankine cycle. For modern practical systems this is about 40% but less for older generating plant.The efficiency falls still further if fuels with lower energy content such as biomass are used to supply the plant.
What it photosynthesis?
It is a chemical process generating glucose using CO2 and water. Energy of light is used
