How is power used?
To make steam, to turn a generator.
What is the steam of a power plant use for?
To drive a steam turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator
How do you power generator to create electricity?
The nuclear reactor produces heat which is used to raise steam to feed a steam turbine/generator set
What is the relationship turbine and generator?
steam powers a turbine which drives a generator to produce electrical power
Where can I buy a steam powered generator?
The best place to purchase a steam powered generator would be online at www.greensteamengine.com. The website is very valuable to show the advantages of going with steam power.
Parts of a nuclear power plant?
Reactor,Control Rods,Steam Generator,Turbines and Generator,Cooling Tower.
What are examples of mechanical to electrical energy?
A steam turbine/generator in a power station, a small gasoline powered generator, or a 12v alternator in your car driven by the engine.
How does steam power compare power created by running water?
Steam power is more efficient.
Is generator used in nuclear or solar energy?
Generators are nearly always used for nuclear power, and sometimes used for solar power. In nuclear power plants, the reactor makes steam to run a generator. Much of solar produced electricity does not use a generator, but produces power through a photovoltaic effect. Concentrated solar can be used to make steam to run a generator.
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.
Is steam reversible?
Yes. Steam is produced in a steam generator (boiler), used to power an engine (or turbine), condensed, and returned to the boiler as feedwater.
What is nuclear power used?
Nuclear power is used to create large amounts of heat which generate steam. Basically, the steam is then used to spin steam turbines attached to generator sets, which generate power.
