# Burn the oil, use the heat to boil water. # Use the steam from the boiling water to spin a steam turbine. # Use the steam turbine to turn an electric generator. This is the basic process a conventional power station uses to generate electricity.

How does nuclear produce electricity?
All current power reactors are no different than coal or oil power plants, they make heat, the heat turns water to steam, the steam turns turbines, the turbines turn alternators. You have electricity. Just the source of the heat changes.
How is oil used to form electricity?
Oil is burned in a furnace as fuel to produce heat. Running through the furnace is a series of pipes containing water. The water turns to steam with the heat - which is then used to turn turbines. The turbines generate the electricity.
How do you reset change oil message on 2004 Chevy Avalanche?
Step 1. Turn off vehicle Step 2. Turn key to accessory. all lights come on. Step 3. pump gas pedal 3 times and wait about tens seconds. Step 4. turn key back to off. Step 5. there is no step 5 because you are done. I didn't think it was this easy but i just got done doing it myself!!
How do you reset the oil life percentage back to 100 after an oil change on a 2008 cobalt?
turn the key on the on position and step on the gas pedal three times in a row.....
How can electricity be produced from oil?
electricity is produced by generators the oil is used to run the generators.
Does electricity come from oil?
You can burn oil and use the heat to power a generator and you get electricity.
When you turn off a light how does it help global warming?
When you turn off a light you are helping slow global warming by using less electricity. Most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning releases carbon dioxide, which is causing global warming.
How does coal enables electricity generation to take place?
Coal, like natural gas and oil is burned to boil water into steam. The steam pressure is used to turn giant generators which create the electricity.
Will oil conduct electricity?
No, not pure oil.
What is the role of chemistry in purifying crude oil in an oil refinery?
All the processes involved in the refining of crude oil are chemical processes; this is the field of petrochemistry.
Can burning fossil fuels generate electricity?
Yes, well sort of. Burning fossil fuels is the first step. These fuels heat water and turn it into steam. The steam will drive the turbines. In some cases, turbines are driven by the products of combustion of natural gas instead of steam. The rotating turbines create electricity. See related link.Fossil fuels are things like coal, natural gas, and oil. In most countries, they are used to generate much of the electricity.
What processes are adding too much carbon dioxide to the atmosphere?
The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2).
