Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
It just produces thermal energy, in the same way as burning coal or wood.
Chemical energy> Thermal(Heat) energy Heat energy> Rotating mechanical energy
By burning it
which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant
Burning coal is thermal energy. It can be used to produce mechanical energy.
It turns into energy
It just produces thermal energy, in the same way as burning coal or wood.
Chemical energy> Thermal(Heat) energy Heat energy> Rotating mechanical energy
No. It produces less.
1 kg of U-235 will produce as much energy as 1500 tons of coal
it creates energy
Coal energy is energy derived from the burning of coal. Coal is essentially fossilized carbon.
Burning coal gives heat (thermal), light and sound energy.
when burning coal it gives off heat energy
The burning becomes heat energy. The heat boils water to make steam, which then turns a turbine, which is kinetic energy. The turbine can power a power generator, producing electric energy, which can then produce almost any kind of energy.
1 kg uranium 235 = 3 000 t coal
