What are the energy transformations in a coal fired power station?
Coal is burned to produce heat, which then is transferred to water/steam, which produces mechanical power in the steam turbine, which produces electrical power from the generator
Describe 6 difference method of producing electricity?
Hydro electricity (Water power) Diesel generator Coal fired power station Nuclear power station Gas fired power station Wind turbine generators.
What does a generator do in a power station?
A coal-fired power station works by burning coal to give off heat, which heats water and produces steam. The steam is then used to push generator turbines; which generate energy.
How does a coal fired power station produce electricity?
A coal fired station burns coal to produce heat. The heat boils water to produce high pressure and temperature steam. The steam expands in a turbine to rotate the shaft. The turbines rotation drives a generator. The generator produces electricity which is sent out to the consumers.
Where does the wasted energy from a coal power station go?
Most of it simply escapes into the atmosphere !
What type of energy is found in a coal fired power station?
chemical energy
Which type of power station uses chemical energy to generate electricity coal fired or nuclear?
Coal fired
What is the largest coal fired power station?
kendal power station in south Africa

Why is CO2 and H2O released from a gas fired power station but not from a coal fired power station?
The gas used for burning contains both carbon and hydrogen; coal does not (it consists mainly of carbon).
What is a coal-fired energy plant?
A coal-fired energy plant is one that burns coal (as the source of energy) to make electricity or drive machinery.
What are the four stages of a coal fired power station?
it works by eating tatie
Describe 6 difference method of producing electricity?
Hydro electricity (Water power) Diesel generator Coal fired power station Nuclear power station Gas fired power station Wind turbine generators.
What is the water consumption of coal fired power station?
3.71 m^3/MWh
What coal is its main use in the US?
It is burned in coal-fired power plants to supply energy.
What are the main sources of electrical energy in Australia?
Mostly coal-fired power plants, black coal outside Victoria, where dirty brown coal (lignite) is used. There a considerable level of hydroelectric energy utilisation mainly in Tasmania, which has only one coal-fired power station. There are no nuclear power plants. Wind energy is becoming more important with small-scale solar plants coming onstream as well, although "alternative" sources of enegy amount to only a small proportion of Australian enegy needs.
