How do you turn nuclear energy into chemical energy?
Nuclear energy is turned into thermal energy, not chemical energy
How does nuclear energy turn to electrical energy?
nuclear -> heat -> kinetic ->electrical
How do you turn nuclear energy into thermal energy?
Nuclear binding energy is what holds the nucleus of an atom together. When an atom is split, some of the binding energy is released. At the level of the atom, it is kinetic energy of the daughter atoms and particles. This is not different from their temperature, and so the nuclear binding energy is turned directly into heat on the fission of the atom. When we speak of nuclear energy, we are often speaking of nuclear power, referring to nuclear power plants. The above answer really works for them also, at the fundamental level.
Where does the energy for your TV come from?
From the electric plug. This, in turn, comes from some generators, which may run on coal, diesel, nuclear power, wind energy, hydroelectric energy, etc.
What role do fuel rods play in generating energy?
Fuel rods are the nuclear fuel in a nuclear power plant. They are used to turn water to steam, which is then used to turn a turbine. They do not "generate energy", since energy cannot be created or destroyed (E=mc^2). They are used to generate electricity, or to convert nuclear energy to electric energy.
Is nuclear energy thermal energy or potential?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
Is nuclear energy potential energy or kinectic energy?
Until converted, it is potential energy. However, to make nuclear energy domestically useful it is converted into thermal (thermodynamic) energy (heat), which, in turn, is converted into electrical energy, both of which are kinetic energy.
What is the most popular source of energy?
Nuclear energy that is the source of sun energy which in turn is the source of fossil and renewable energies.
What is a nuclear powe?
A very safe form of energy that has a bi product of Di-Hydrogen Oxide, you know... WATER
What is the use of fission?
Nuclear fission generally produces a lot of energy. In a nuclear power plant, this energy is used to create steam to turn a turbine and generate electricity.
Should you still use nuclear power?
Nuclear power is very good source of energy to turn to. The only problem is the storage of nuclear waste, that is left over after the nuclear reaction the power plant. The energy obtained from the nuclear power plant is very clean burning and more KJ/mole energy.
What type of energy conversions occur when energy is given off by splitting atoms turn into water steam?
Nuclear is the answer
