What fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn on?
Turbines
What do power plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
What do most plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
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.
What do most power plants use to turn a generator?
Steam, created by heating water through the burning of fossil fuels or through nuclear reactions.
Solar energy fossil fuel water and nuclear?
What is the question?
Why does fossil fuels and nuclear plants heat water?
The useful energy we get from fossil fuels and nuclear plants is heat. and heating water to make steam is about the most direct way to capture that thermal energy. Steam is used to spin turbines to turn electric power generators, and that allows us to harness the energy.
What is the second largest source of energy after fossil fuels?
Hydraulic (water) and Nuclear.
What are five sources of Eletrical?
Solar, Nuclear, Wind, Water, and Fossil Fuel power
What makes nuclear power in a nuclear power plant?
As of July 2008, there were more than 430 operating nuclear power plants and, together, they provided about 15 percent of the world's electricity in 2007. Despite all the cosmic energy that the word "nuclear" invokes, power plants that depend on atomic energy don't operate that differently from a typical coal-burning power plant. Both heat water into pressurized steam, which drives a turbine generator. The key difference between the two plants is the method of heating the water. While older plants burn fossil fuels, nuclear plants depend on the heat that occurs during nuclear fission, when one atom splits into two.
How is nuclear reactor similar to a conventional fossil fuel power plant?
The useful product of both nuclear fission and of the combustion of fossil fuels is heat. That makes both types of power plants the same. We'll see both a nuclear plant and a fossil fuel plant using heat to turn water to steam. Then we'll see the steam used to drive a generator to make electricity.
How does nuclear reactor produce electricity?
Most do it the same way fossil fueled power plants do: by heating water to make steam, which turns turbine/generators. The heat just comes from a different source.
