How does nuclear produce power?

The same way fossil fuel plants do, making steam and turning turbines which turn generators/alternators.Nuclear fission generates heat which flashes water to steam which spins turbines that spin generators that produce electricity.

How did the navy use nuclear power?

The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.


What is geothermal power plant?

All geothermal power plants use steam to turn large turbines, which run electrical generators. This steam comes from steam produced from reservoirs of hot water found a couple of miles or more below the Earth's surface. There are three types of geothermal power plants: dry steam, flash steam, and binary cycle.


How is steam used to power a nuclear submarine?

Steam from the nuclear reactor turns turbines. These turbines either turn the propeller directly or turn generators that produce electricity to power electric motors which turn the propellor.


Can distilled water can be used in boilers of nuclear power plant to obtain steam?

Yes Distilled water can be used in nuclear power plants to obtain steam. This steam after spinning the turbines (to turn electric generators for electricity generation) is condensed in a closed circuit and returned back as water to be heated up again and turned to steam.


Which type of power station does not use steam from boiling water to turn the generators?

A photovoltaic (solar) power station does not use steam from boiling water to turn generators. Solar power stations use solar panels to convert sunlight directly into electricity using photovoltaic cells.


Why is fuel burned in the power station?

Fuel is burned in power stations to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam. This steam drives turbines, which in turn spin generators to produce electricity. This process is the basis of most power generation plants around the world.


What are turbines used for in an electric power plant?

They are spun by steam or by falling water, and turn the generators that produce electricity.


How does the nuclear reactor turn in to electric?

Usually the same way coal, oil, and natural gas fired power plants make electricity: boiling water to make steam, which turns turbines, which turns the generators.


How is natural gas used at power plants?

Natural gas is typically used in power plants to generate electricity through a process called combustion. The natural gas is burned to heat water, producing steam that turns a turbine connected to a generator. This generates electricity that is then sent to the power grid for distribution.


Can fire be turned into electricity?

Yes, fire can be used to generate electricity through technologies like thermal power plants, where heat from burning fuel is used to produce steam and turn turbines to generate electricity. Another method is through thermoelectric generators, which convert temperature differentials, like those created by a fire, into electricity.
