What else can I help you with?
What do power plants use for fuel?
Coal
Uranium-235 is used to fuel nuclear power plants What is the main use of uranium-235?
That is the main use, to fuel nuclear power plants
What types of power generators do astronauts use?
Astronauts use DC electric power produced by fuel cells.
Can geothermal energy be used to fuel vehicles?
Yes, geothermal power plants produce the same kind of electricity as any power plant. This can be used to charge electric vehicles overnight for use during the day (or vice versa).
How does a modern electric train generate power?
Electric trains usually get power from overhead power cables or an electrified third rail below. Locomotives can use diesel fuel to generate electric voltage to run the engine.
What can you use instead of fuel?
You can use eco friendly things. If you mean for generating power, you can use: Wind turbines solar panels hydro electric wave power Tidal power you can also use Nuclear power!
Advantages of steam power plant over diesel power plant?
1. Can be made in much greater output plants 2. Steam plants can use a variety of fuel sources including nuclear fuel, whilst diesel fuel is more expensive and best reserved for transport use.
State two uses of running water?
1. you can use it to power hydro electric power plants. 2. this one i don't know
What are all of the hybrid electric cars?
Hybrid cars are not the same as an electric car. Electric cars run on electric power exclusively, while hybrid cars use a combination of electric energy and another fuel to run.
What is a plant that uses coal petroleum and gas as sources of energy?
Collectively, power plants that use natural gas, oil, or coal are known as "fossil fuel power plants" but they are usually identified by the primary fuel and are not freely interchangeable.
Is chromium used as fuel nuclear power plants?
No, chromium is not used as a fuel in nuclear power plants. In nuclear power plants, the most common fuel is uranium, which undergoes fission reactions to generate heat that is used to produce electricity. Chromium is mainly used in stainless steel components within the nuclear reactors for their corrosion resistance properties.
How does electricity reduce the use of fossil fuels?
Electricity does not inherently reduce the use of fossil fuels -- in fact, the production of electric energy is one of the biggest uses of fossil fuels. There are two ways that electric power can reduce the use of fossil fuels: Efficiency improvements, and alternate power sources. Efficiency improvements: * By replacing thousands of relatively inefficient fossil-fuel-burning engines with thousands of electric motors and a couple of highly efficient centralized fossil-fuel-burning electric power plants, the same amount of mechanical work requires less fossil fuel. * By using a microwave oven to cook food rather than a gas or electric conventional oven, only enough energy is used to heat the food itself, rather than heating up the internal structure of the oven and the air it contains, and maintaining that temperature for a longer time. Alternate power sources: Power can be produced in several ways that require no fossil fuels -- see the "What can you use instead of fossil fuels?" question below. Converting those forms of energy to electric power makes it easier to reduce or -- in principle -- eliminate the fossil fuel that otherwise would have been used to produce that electric power.
