What spins the turbine of coal-burning power plant?
Steam spins the turbine of coal-burning power plant.
What do wind power and coal power have in common?
the biggest star
Compare and contrast coal power plants and energy in hearing?
coal uses fossil fuels and nuclear power plants doesn't
What are the energy transformations in a coal fired power station?
Coal is burned to produce heat, which then is transferred to water/steam, which produces mechanical power in the steam turbine, which produces electrical power from the generator
What does a thermal power plant do that a coal power plant doesn't?
In a thermal power plant, the conversion of thermal heat into rotational energy is achieved. This can be achieved by using the thermal heat from burning coal or from burning oil or from burning gas or from steam generated by solar means (insolation). In a coal power plant the thermal heat obtained from burning coal is converted into rotational energy, which drives the generator and eventually, electrical power is generated.
Is solar power better then coal power?
Solar power is more environment friendly than coal power. Solar power is, however, more expensive than coal power.
How much electrical power can be provided by coal?
how much electrical power can be provided by coal
How was coal a key to industrialization?
Coal was used as power.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What is an advantage of nuclear power plants over coal power plant?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What is an advatage of using coal power over solar power to generate electricity?
coal power can be generated at night
Do you buy power from coal mines?
The coal mines dig up the coal from under the earth. The coal is then sold to whoever wants it. Some industries use coal for power. Coal-fired power stations are a huge buyer of coal. They burn the coal to heat water and use the steam to turn turbines which produce electricity. This electricity is then passed on to Energy Companies who sell the power to us.
How does coal become power?
When you burn coal it becomes energy.
What is coal fired power?
A power plant in which coal is burned to move generating turbines to produce electricity.
What is the good thing about coal and the bad thing about coal?
Coal gives us power but to get this we have to pollute
Which type of coal used in thermal power station?
lignite coal
What type of power does coal make?
coal makes heat and electrical power when burned down. By: Big Country
