Air Preheaters (APH) are important equipments in modern thermal power stations. By preheating the combustion air with the hot flue gases coming out of the boiler, a considerable increase in efficiency is obtained.
Although most dams are built with the intention of creating hydro-electric power, which is a cheap and effective way of generating power without burning fossil fuels, or using nuclear power, they do often entail a major change in the local habitat, including moving complete villages or settlements. In one instance, when a large dam was built in Egypt, they had to move a series of statues that had stood on place since the times of Rameses. Dams may also kill fish or stop them from migrating to where they were born.
A power strip (also known as an extension block, power board and by many other variations) is a block of electrical sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple electrical devices to be plugged in. As such it can be considered a type of trailing socket though that term is more often used for single and double cable mounted sockets. The term is also used to refer to the complete assembly with the power strip on one end and a plug on the other. Power strips are often used when many electrical devices are in proximity, such as for audio/video and computer systems. Power strips often include a circuit breaker to safely limit the electric power flowing through them.

More often than not, also depending on the type of PC lover you are, you will find that it is mostly the Graphics card that will use most power. Unless you have a built in grahpics card, then it will most likely be the motherboard.
They are burned to create energy like electricity.
No. They are extracting existing heat from the earth, and converting that to electrical power. There are no fossil fuels burned there.
Yes
Petrol is burned in your car
Most power stations use steam to drive turbines connected to generators. Most fuels can be burnt, to provide the heat to generate steam. Choose two out of these:- 1. Oil 2. Gas 3. Coal 4. Peat 5. Bio mass (shredded wood)
Fossil fuels are not used in nuclear power stations. Nuclear fuel is used (uranium)
Them most commonly used fuels in UK power stations are fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, and oil. Nuclear fuels like plutonium and uranium are sometimes used as well.
Imagine you are asked to advise the utilities company about the costs (negatives) and benefits associated with the use of fossil fuels in thermal power stations. a. List four costs of using fossil fuels in thermal power stations. b. List four benefits of using fossil fuels in thermal power stations.?
they burn fossil fuels like coal, fuel oil, and oil shale
Three positives about fossil fuels are:1. Fossil fuel power stations are relatively inexpensive to build and maintain.2. Fossil fuel power stations can produce large quantities of electricity.3. Fossil fuels are easily distributed.
A power plant or generating station.
natural gas and carbon dioxide hope this helps with all your year 4 homework, it helped me in year 4xx
