What type of energy is in a coal fired power station?
Heat energy i think...
Is energy wasted in a coal - fired power plant?
Chemical energy is released when the coal burns with oxygen in the air. This energy is used to heat water, which is converted into steam. Not all of the energy is used to heat the water. Some of it is wasted by being transferred as heat to the surroundings. The energy of the steam is used to turn the turbines, but some of the steam energy is wasted.
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
What is the machine in a power station that changes kinetic energy into electrical energy?
for instance generator, crusher, boiler, coal
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.
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
The electricity energy that is transferred in a TV comes from a power stationwhere is the energy transferred from to make the electricity in the power station?
Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.
What converts thermal energy to electrical energy?
A coal burining power station. A sterling engine attached to a dynamo.
What converts electric energy to thermal energy?
A coal burining power station. A sterling engine attached to a dynamo.
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
What accidents might occur from working in coal power stations?
For one, the coal power station might blow up if it gets too hot, obviously causing an accident. Basically, a coal power station worker's biggest worry is if it will blow up. GO NUCLEAR ENERGY AND BARACK OBAMA
