Oil is burned and the heat is used to boil and superheat water to make steam under high temperature and pressure. The steam is sent through a turbine. The turbine is connected to a generator which makes electricity.

What is oil thermal power plant?
The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.
Can wind power be used for weapons?
Wind power can not be made into direct weapon, however the electrical energy that wind power gives off can be used to power a weapon. An electric powered gun or military laser might powered by a wind turbine, just it might be powered by some other energy source; nuclear, solar, gas, oil, coal or hydroelectric
Does the nuclear power include oil?
No. Nuclear power uses nuclear energy instead of oil energy.
Will electricity last for ever?
As far as energy resources required to produce electrical energy are available such as oil,nuclear energy,water energy, wind energy ...etc , electrical energy production can be maintened.
Why is electrical energy inexhaustible and renewable?
Electrical energy is a PRODUCED energy, not a SOURCE energy. It is produced by other things- burning oil, gas or coal, or uranium uses non-renewable energy.
What are three forms of energy into which electrical energy can be changed?
three types are oil,uranium and hydro
What are the advantages of power plant?
· Get more energy from this. · 24/7 energy being made. · They can meet demands. · Can use oil and coal. · Makes jobs
How is domestic heating oil converted to electricity?
Heating oil is typically not converted to electricity. It is burned in the furnace to create heat. Heating oil is less commonly used as an industrial fuel or for power generation. Oil fueled Turbines can be used to convert the heat energy of combustion into mechanical energy, which then operate an electrical generator.
What is Energy Trading?
Energy trading means both the buying and selling of energy ( or energy producing ) commodities such as crude oil, coal, natural gas , electrical power etc. It also covers the aspect of management of the movement and delivery of the energy commodities and management of associated risk
How does the Honda oil sensor work?
It has a sensor that translates oil pressure into electrical energy which shows up on the dash as the oil presure.
Why would the power of cloud energy be suppressed and by who?
oil and the oil magnates
What energy conversions occur in a generator?
The generator transforms mechanical energy to electrical energy by rotating a wired coil within a magnetic field. The mechanical energy is from steam in nuclear and combustion reactors (oil, gas coal). In hydro and wind power, it is from rotating turbines.
