How did the first steam engine work?
two words: nuclear power
How are a fossil fuel burning power plant and a nuclear plant similar?
They both use steam turbine/generators
How did the navy use nuclear power?
The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water into steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
What is the name of the process that nuclear power stations use to generate power?
Nuclear Reaction: A Nuclear reaction in the nuclear core generates great amounts of energy in the form of heat. This energy is used to heat up water to steam to drive a steam turbine engine which generates rotary motion to a shaft which is mechanically connected to turn an Alternator which generates the electrical power.
Describe the role of steam in a nuclear power plant?
Steam in nuclear power plants is used to drive turbines for generation of kinetic energy.
What is nuclear power used?
Nuclear power is used to create large amounts of heat which generate steam. Basically, the steam is then used to spin steam turbines attached to generator sets, which generate power.
What is the waste of nuclear power?
Nuclear reactors produce heat, the heat then is used to make steam, turning turbines. Therefore, the waste of a nuclear power plant is excess steam.
In a nuclear power plant what is used to change water to steam?
Heat from the nuclear reaction changes water to steam.
What was James Watt's invention in the 1700s?
James Watt is known for his all important invention of the steam engine which lead to the invention of the locomotive and of the power plants.Even today's nuclear power plants apply the power of steam to make energy.
Why not super heated steam used in nuclear power plant?
Actually, superheated steam is used in nuclear power plants. It is part of the goal of extracting the most energy possible from the steam cycle.
What occurs in a steam engine?
Water is heated to produce steam. The steam is used to power the engine. The power from the engine does the work or powers other instruments that do the work.
