If 35 percent of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called the what of the power plant?
It is the efficiency of the power plant.
How efficient is nuclear?
Nuclear power plants such as PWR and BWR have a thermal efficiency around 33 percent. The best fossil fired plants are around 40 percent efficient.
How efficient are conventional power plants?
Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.
Why do hydroelectric power plants produce only about 3 percent of the electrical energy in the world today?
it not that efficient
Is wave power efficient?
wave power is efficient.
How many percent efficient is the nuclear power plant?
Approximately 33%, depending on the design. That's measuring from reactor thermal power to final electric power.
What are the requirements of automobile power plant?
it should be energy efficient.
If 35 percent of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called the what of the power plant?
It is the efficiency of the power plant.
How efficient is nuclear?
Nuclear power plants such as PWR and BWR have a thermal efficiency around 33 percent. The best fossil fired plants are around 40 percent efficient.
Disadvantages of geothermal power plant?
A geothermal power plant has a very low carbon footprint. However these types of plants are not efficient at producing energy.
How efficient are thermal power stations?
Coal fired plants about 40 percent, nuclear reactors (PWR) about 33 percent
Is Gas more energy efficient for Cooking?
Gas cooking should be more energy efficient than electric, as the thermal energy from burning the gas goes directly into the food in the pan, whereas if the gas is used in a power plant you probably lose about 60 percent of the energy, only 40 percent goes into making the electricity

What is the thermal efficiency of a plant?
The ratio of the power sent out by the plant to the energy produced from the fuel, in percent usually
Is wave power efficient?
wave power is efficient.
What happens in a nuclear power plant in Bataan?
Nothing happens in the nuclear plant in Bataan. This plant was built but never operated.
