How to make electricity from the pit latrine?
Technically you could make electricity from a pit latrine if you could somehow harness the gas that is produced in the process of biodegredation. Methane is used for fuel.
Where does the heating process begin in a hot water heater system?
the boiler.
Where does a windmill come from?
windmill is a process of contain electricity.
What is the cycle of heating rising and cooling and sinking called?
The process of Convection / subduction current
What is one good use of a nuclear reactor?
Process heat and electricity generation.
How is the oil produced?
oil is produce by a long process of smashing heating and dead organism layering.
How is the resource oil produced?
oil is produce by a long process of smashing heating and dead organism layering.
What is geothermal energy and how is converted to electricity?
Geothermal energy is heat and is converted into electricity by heating water, creating steam which turns a turbine and then the big complex process begins.
How do nuclear power stations operate?
Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused torotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced inthe generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of theElectricity Board.In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, thesteam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
What is the form of energy provided to the public by nuclear reactors?
It could be process heat (e,g, for district heating and water desalination) or electricity

What heats the wire of a light bulb?
When electricity passes through the wire of a light bulb, the resistance in the wire causes it to heat up through a process called Joule heating. This heating effect causes the wire to reach such high temperatures that it emits light and produces illumination in the bulb.
What is acetylene welding?
Acetylene welding is a process in which like metals are joined by heating them to their melting temperature with an oxy-acetylene flame produced by a torch.
Process of operation on geothermal power plant?
The process of operation a geothermal power plant involves moving heat up to the plant, heating water, and turning a steam turbine. This produces a renewable and clean form of electricity.
Is heating ammonium bicarbonate a physical or chemical change?
Heating is a physical process but thermal decomposition is a chemical process.
How does a heating pad work?
Heating pads contain heating elements that convert electricity to heat by passing current through a conductor (usually a wire). This process is variously referred to as resistive heating, ohmic heating, or Joule heating. The amount of heat generated is proportional to the square of the applied current multiplied by the resistance of the conductor. If SI units are employed (amperes for current and ohms for resistance) the unit of heat energyis called a joule.
Is heating the salt solution a chemical or physical?
Heating is a physical process.
