Describe three different ways that a power company might produce steam to turn a turbine?
There are many different ways to heat water hot enough to produce steam to turn a turbine, including:heat energy produced by burning coalheat energy produced by waste incinerationheat energy produced by a controlled nuclear chain reactionheat energy extracted from hot rocks deep undergroundconverting sunlight to heat energyThere are relatively few ways that the steam is converted back to water.
How do you turn petroleum into energy?
You don't "turn" it into energy; petroleum HAS stored energy (chemical energy).However, you can turn it into ANOTHER TYPE OF ENERGY; usually this is done by burning the petroleum, and using it to drive machinery. Since burning fuels is wasteful (the efficiency is limited, in theory, to the Carnot efficiency of a heat engine), other options are being explored, such as chemical reactions in a fuel cell. But such technology is not yet used on a large scale.
