How is CO2 formed in a coal - fuelled power station and in a gas - fuelled power station?
In a coal-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when coal is burned in the presence of oxygen during the combustion process. The carbon in the coal combines with oxygen to form CO2 as a byproduct. In a gas-fueled power station, CO2 is formed when natural gas is burned in a similar combustion process, where the carbon in the gas combines with oxygen to produce CO2.
What do we use coal most for?
Coal is primarily used for electricity generation, as it is burned to produce steam that powers turbines connected to generators. It is also used in industrial processes such as steel production and cement manufacturing. Additionally, coal is used for heating in residential and commercial buildings.
Why is coal burned in a power station?
Coal is burned in a power station to generate heat, which is used to produce steam. The steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, which produces electricity. Coal is a relatively cheap and abundant source of energy, making it a popular choice for power generation despite its environmental impact.
Where does combustion take place in a coal-burning power plant?
We can probably say the firebox of the boiler is where combustion takes place in a coal-fired power plant.A coal pulverizer feeds the coal into the firebox (burner or combustion chamber) along with forced air. The air-coal mix is ignited in the hot environment, and the heat rises to the coils in the upper part of the boiler. In the bottom of the combustion area we find the ash or slag collector.
How is coal turned into energy in power plants?
Coal is burned in a boiler to produce high-pressure steam, which drives a turbine connected to a generator to produce electricity. This process is known as steam-electric power generation. The generated electricity is then distributed through a power grid for use in homes, businesses, and industries.
What does a furnace and boiler do in a power station?
A furnace is used in a power station to burn fuel, such as coal or natural gas, to produce heat. This heat is then used to generate steam in a boiler. The steam is used to drive a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.
What kind of station is Ferrybridge power station?
Ferrybridge is a coal powered power station.
What produces cheaper electricity- a coal burning station or a nuclear power station?
coal
What is the largest coal fired power station?
kendal power station in south Africa
How much electricity does a coal power station supply?
it depends on how big the power station is
Which type of coal used in thermal power station?
lignite coal
How is coal used in a power station?
the coal is crushed first then the coal is passed for burning
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
A coal-fired power station uses chemical energy from burning coal to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses nuclear reactions to generate electricity.
What part of the power station is the fossil fuel burnt in?
The furnace/boiler.
How is electricity produced at a power station?
In a coal-fired power station, a boiler burns coal to produce steam. The steam makes a turbine spin. The turbine drives an electricity generator. The electricity from the generator is converted to a higher voltage by a transformer. This higher voltage is to enable transmission over long power lines without losing too much energy. When it comes to reach our homes, it is then converted back into lower voltage by other transformers. Nuclear power stations are similar - instead of a coal-fired boiler, a nuclear reactor creates the steam. Wind turbines use the blades to turn the generator.
What can replace coal in a power station?
Current
Will the power station for coal generate a lot of power?
yes
