A boiler in a coal fired power station, combusts coal to make heat to 'Boil' water to make steam.
Steam under pressure is used to turn the turbines, which are attached to the generators.

A boiler in a coal power station is responsible for converting water into steam. The coal is burned in the furnace of the boiler, producing heat which is used to generate steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.

What do we use coal most for?
Most coal is burnt to provide heat in a home's fireplace, or to heat a water boiler in a steam engine, or in a coal-fired power station.
How is CO2 formed in a coal - fuelled power station and in a gas - fuelled power station?
CO2 is formed in a coal fuelled station when coal is burnt and the carbon it it combines with oxygen and leaves carbon dioxide
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 sulfur dioxide removed from coal in power station emissions?
they clean the coal as it passes through with machines called 'scrubbers'
Why is coal burned in a power station?
your mum needas tto be powered by coal coz she cant afford blood/ she spends it on mcdonalds

What is the machine in a power station that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
for instance generator, crusher, boiler, coal
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
How is CO2 formed in a coal - fuelled power station and in a gas - fuelled power station?

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
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 part of the power station is the fossil fuel burnt in?
The furnace/boiler.
What can replace coal in a power station?
Current
