What does coal produce?
Coal produces a lot of things like energys lights and fuel, some even runs EVERYTHING in your house!
Is A Coal Power Station Better Than A Nuclear Power Station?
yes a coal is nature nuclear uses lots of power Process for production of power from coal is very inefficient , More over it produces lot of carbon dioxide in to atmosphere (harmful green house gas). While Process for production of power from Nuclear plant is very good when compared with coal power. But initial and maintenance cost is very high. Unit cost for coal power is more economical than nuclear power. So economically coal power station is better. But on the basis of efficiency Nuclear power stations are good. When the deaths caused by the two types of mining are considered, coal fired systems have a much higher overall death rate. But the coal mining industry is improving this.
Why is coal an important resource in the US?
We have a lot of it, and it is used to generate a large portion of the electricity in the US.
How does solar power generate electricty?
it eats a lot of eggs
How much energy is generated from coal?
The amount of energy generated from coal can vary based on factors such as the type and quality of coal, the efficiency of the power plant, and the technology used. On average, coal-fired power plants convert about 33-40% of the energy in coal into electricity.
What type of coal is mined in Virginia?
I don't know a lot about it, but there are a lot of coal power plants, probabley to use the coal for some kind of energy source (like they use to do on old trains where they put coal in the fire.
What produces cheaper electricity coal burning power station or a nuclear power stastion?
I think they are similar, but the cost of coal varies widely and transport can cost a lot. The costs of nuclear look good on paper but cost overruns are frequent and present predictions are not reliable as no plants have been built for a long time, in the US at least.
How much power can a pacemaker generate?
quite a lot because they last about 10 years
What impact does coal power to to the environment?
that it make a lot of pollution and kills some types of plants
How is electricity produced at a coal burning power plant?
Coal is combusted, to generate heat Heat is used to generate steam, in a boiler, under pressure. The pressurised steam then drives a turbine. The turbine is rotating, and co-shafted to the generator. The generator is a rotating magnet inside a coil of wire. The rotating magnet inside the coil of wire induces an electric current in the wire. Coal is an impure mixture of carboniferous compounds. It can be converted to coke , which is an impure form of carbon. NB A Nuclea power station does exactly the samer, except that nuclear changes in the atoms generate heat to make the pressurised steam.
Where would you find coal in South Africa?
South Africa uses coal for power because it has no significant oil reserves, very little natural gas and a whole lot of coal, far more than its domestic consumption requires. Alternative clean power generation is at an experimental stage but there is a lot of potential for wind and solar power in the country. Hydro power is unlikely to develop, as South Africa is a dry country, but it has been involved in Hydro power projects in Mozambique, Angola and Congo (DRC) High grade coal is mainly exported, typically to iron and steel manufacturers. Low grade coal is used to fire power stations that generate most of the electricity used in South Africa. A small portion of coal production is converted to liquid fuels.
Is smoke released when coal is generated into electricity?
Yes, since power generation from coal is mainly dependent on combustion (burning) of coal, which releases a lot of CO2 , CO and some other gases (smoke).
