How does fossil fuel power station work?

How does fossil fuel work in a power plant?
Fossil fuel like coal or natural gas is brought to the power plant by trains. Then it is burned to heat water to make steam. The steam is under pressure and it wants to escape, so it is run through a turbine and the power of steam spins the turbine. The spinning turbine runs and electric generator that makes electricity.
How does hydro power work?
Hydro power works by flowing water pushing a water wheel that generates a power station to make power.
What is is alternative energy?
Alternative energy usually means any energy source other than fossil fuels. That includes solar energy, wind power, and geothermal energy.
If energy is indestructible then why is there an energy crisis?
The energy Crisis isn't a lack of energy, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it only changes its form. the energy crisis comes from not having renewable fuel/power sources, the amount of people is increasing, and fossil fuel (gasoline) is not unlimited, if you research how fossil fuel is "made" this will make more sense. The energy crisis is due to poor policies that listen to people outside of the industry for direction. When you listen to environmentalists for policy regarding drilling offshore, you get problems. Problems occur when you ban nuclear power then demand more energy from fossil fuel plants. We could have virtually unlimited power for all of our needs if we had better planning and use of our existing resources, We have hundreds of years of oil left and thousands of years of nuclear energy left. The alternative sources of power may someday become a real power source, until then we must continue to use what actually works and allow their use. The use of hydrogen fuel cells seems promising, but there needs to be further development. People are spending too much time on trying to improve pure electric power and hybrid systems. Hybrids don't work because they still run on fossil fuels. Running on pure electric doesn't work because that has proven to produce numerous problems that conflict too much with daily life.

What is the defeniton of a fossil fuel power plant?
A fossil fuel power plant is a system of devices for the conversion of fossil fuel energy to mechanical work or electric energy
How much fossil fuel is left on earth?
There is not to much fossil fuel left of the whloe world of have fossil fuel. we need to work lees time of it to last more time .
How does Liquid Natural Gas work as a fuel?
Natural gas works as a fossil fuel because you BURN it and it turns into heat and energy exactly like a fossil fuel.

How does fossil fuel work?
You burn it; it gives off heat; you use the heat.
How does biofuels power work?
The same way fossil fuels power work. They are just produced in a different way.
How much fossil fuels can wind turbines use in one day?
it takes about 10 turbines for 1 fossil fuel to work.
How does electricity reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Electricity does not inherently reduce the use of fossil fuels -- in fact, the production of electric energy is one of the biggest uses of fossil fuels. There are two ways that electric power can reduce the use of fossil fuels: Efficiency improvements, and alternate power sources. Efficiency improvements: * By replacing thousands of relatively inefficient fossil-fuel-burning engines with thousands of electric motors and a couple of highly efficient centralized fossil-fuel-burning electric power plants, the same amount of mechanical work requires less fossil fuel. * By using a microwave oven to cook food rather than a gas or electric conventional oven, only enough energy is used to heat the food itself, rather than heating up the internal structure of the oven and the air it contains, and maintaining that temperature for a longer time. Alternate power sources: Power can be produced in several ways that require no fossil fuels -- see the "What can you use instead of fossil fuels?" question below. Converting those forms of energy to electric power makes it easier to reduce or -- in principle -- eliminate the fossil fuel that otherwise would have been used to produce that electric power.
Is pumping carbon into the ocean carbon sequestration?
No, carbon sequestration is a plan to capture carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants before it reaches the atmosphere, compress it and pump it underground into supposedly secure locations where it will remain forever and never escape. The owners of the fossil fuel power plants, who desperately want to continue burning coal, are particularly hopeful that this plan will work.
Working of 210 mw thermal power station?
Thermal power station of 210mw will work on principle of modified Rankine cycle
How does a power station work?
pretty simple , just does stuff
