What are the emissions from coal combustion at thermal power plants?
Oxides of Nitrogen Oxides of Sulphur
What is an application of flue gas?
About the most common application of flue gas is as a heat source. Recall that flue gas is the stack gas from plants fired with combustibles (coal, oil, gas, biomass, etc.), and it exhausts into the atmosphere. We spend a lot of money monitoring stack gas to keep the combustion process as tightly controlled as possible. That minimized emissions. The heat in the stack gas can be used to heat water or the like, and the preheated water can then be fed back into the boilers to create the steam that drives the turbines that generate electric power (which is one example, but a common one). The heating of the (boiler) feedwater with the flue gas increases the efficiency of the whole operation. It's classic steam cycle power generation, and the preheating of feedwater within the stack (by the flue gas) is a time-proven tactic to reduce costs.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What type of nuclear reaction are used in nuclear power plants?
fission
What pipes used to carry steam in thermal power plants?
steam pipes.
What are the industries used in turbines?
Power plants use turbines to capture the kinetic energy of fluid flows and then turn a shaft and ultimately a generator with that energy. Jets engines are a classic use of turbines. They are used first to capture energy after combustion to drive generators as used in power plants, but on planes it is to power the plane, then second that same shaft turns other turbines at the start of the engine that compress intake air for better engine performance and further power (more oxygen => more combustion possible) --Scott UCSB
How do plants classify?
You classify plants by their reproduction.
What fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn on?
Turbines
Where are turbines used?
Power plants
What is the majority of the world's electricity is supplied by?
The majority of the world's electricity is supplied by fossil fuels, specifically coal, natural gas, and oil. These sources are used in power plants to generate electricity through combustion or steam turbines.
What kingdown do most plants and animals belong to when difficult to classify?
lichens, corals, viruses, corals, viruses and carnivourous plants are difficult to classify :)
What do scientist classify plants as?
Scientist classify plants as producers due their ability to make their own food. They are in the autotrophic level of the nutrient cycle.
Is there a way to classify plants is by how they reproduce?
yes
Is seaweed is a plant?
Some scientists classify seaweed as plants, and some classify seaweed as protists.
What is found in both nuclear and conventional power plants?
Turbines.
Fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn?
Steam turbines, which then themselves turn generators.Nearly every method for generating electricity at commercial scales uses turbines at some point (though they may be wind, steam, or water turbines).
Where do cars get their energy from?
It comes from storage batteries. Those batteries are recharged by either an engine or from the electric grid. Electricity from the electric grid comes from Hydro electric plants, coal fired plants, gas fired plants, wind power turbines, or solar energy.
