Why is oil burnt in power stations?
The whole idea of a "power station" is to produce energy. They need to get the energy from somewhere. Burning oil is one alternative to get their energy.
What does a thermal power plant do that a coal power plant doesn't?
In a thermal power plant, the conversion of thermal heat into rotational energy is achieved. This can be achieved by using the thermal heat from burning coal or from burning oil or from burning gas or from steam generated by solar means (insolation). In a coal power plant the thermal heat obtained from burning coal is converted into rotational energy, which drives the generator and eventually, electrical power is generated.
Why is a coolant needed in a power station?
A coolant is needed in a power station to absorb and transfer the heat generated during the power generation process. It helps in maintaining proper temperature levels and preventing overheating of equipment, such as turbines and generators. Additionally, the coolant also helps in condensing the steam back into a liquid state in steam power plants.
Does electricity come from oil?
You can burn oil and use the heat to power a generator and you get electricity.
How do nuclear power stations operate?
Basically, all power stations adopt the same method to produce electricity. A turbine is caused torotate. A generator is attached to the shaft of the turbine. As the turbine turns, electricity is produced inthe generator. This electricity is sent out through transmission lines to a distribution station of theElectricity Board.In hydroelectric power stations, the turbine is turned by flowing water. In thermal power stations,steam is produced by heating water in a furnace which burns coal or oil. In nuclear power stations, thesteam is produced by the heat generated in the fission process.
When did Jiyeh Power Station oil spill happen?
Jiyeh Power Station oil spill happened in 2006.
Does solar power include coal and oil?
No, Solar Power is generated from Sunlight only.
-if a generator in an oil-thermal power plant is 35 percent efficient and its output capacity is 3 000 MW what is the output power for the turbine generator system?
If the oil fired furnaces produce 3000 MW thermal, and the overall station efficiency is 35 percent, this means that the electrical power sent out is 1050 MWe. This assumes you do mean the overall station efficiency, ie that the power used for auxiliaries on the station is subtracted from the total electric power generated, before this figure is calculated.

Why is it many electrical power stations use oil?
Oil is not too expensive, especially when you can increase the price of electricity to cover it. Oil is easily transported, and it is also simple to convert a coal burning power station into an oil burning power station.
What are the benefits of using oil as a fuel for heat and transport?
Transporting oil and gas to power stations is easyVery large amounts of electricity can be generated in one place, fairly cheaplyOil and gas can be burnt directlyalso you can transport oil to different churches so that they can use oil in the world

How is electricity generated in a power station by using fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) is used to boil water. The steam is used to spin electricity turbines and this generates electricity.

What is the cost to build a oil power station?
i asked this question so why dont you answer it
Does Digboi city has atomic power station?
No, but it has the oldest oil refinery in Asia!
