Is steam fossil fuels?
No,steam is not a fossil fuel
Is electricity fossil fuel?
Electricity itself is not a fossil fuel but, can be generated by steam turbines and generators where the steam has been generated by heating water in fossil fuel boilers.
What is a steam generator used for in a fossil fuel power plant?
To convert the heat of combustion to steam which can be used in an engine.
What is the beginning cost to get fossil fuel?
fossil fuels contain coal, if you burn coal it produce's steam,then the steam turn's the turbine in a generator to produce electricity.That's the cost of fossil fuels ,that they can produce electricity.
What uses coal as fossil fuel?
Power plants, steam locomotives, and some homes.
What are speed boats powered by?
A fossil fuel or wood. This is burnt to make heat and the heat boils water to make steam. The steam pressure is used to push things.However the original source of energy was the heat of the Sun (stored in the fossil fuel or wood).
What enables a steam boat to run only on steam?
Nothing, a steam boat runs not on steam, but on a heat source GENERATING steam. this heat source is usually coal but could be wood or a fossil fuel.
Describe how fossil fuel is used to generate electricity?
Fossil fuel is ignited, the heat boils water, the expansion of the water as steam drives a turbine, the turbine drives an electric generator.
Does fossil fuel generate electricity?
The heat from coal turns water into steam. It is the steam that turns generator turbine blades to create electricity.
What fuels are used to heat the water to steam?
The fuel can be fossil fuel, ie coal oil,or natural gas, or it can be uranium in nuclear plants.
How is fossil fuel used to create electricity?
Coal is burnt to boil water into steam steam is then used to drive turbines that are connected to generators that make electricity
How are a fossil fuel burning power plant and a nuclear plant similar?
They both use steam turbine/generators
