AdvantagesT

-The fuel used is quite cheap.

-Less initial cost as compared to other generating plants.

-It can beinstalled at any place iirespective of the existence of coal. The coal can be

transported to the site of the plant by rail or road.

-It require less space as compared to Hydro power plants.

-Cost of generation is less than that of diesel power plants.

Disadvantages

-It pollutes the atmosphere due to production of large amount of smoke and fumes.

-It is costlier in running cost as compared to Hydro electric plants.

What kind of coal used in a steam generating plant?

Black coal will be used in steam generators.


The conversion of potential energy in coal into the kinetic energy that heats steam is an expression of?

The conversion of potential energy in coal into kinetic energy that heats steam is an expression of the first law of thermodynamics, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed. In this case, the potential energy stored in coal is transformed into kinetic energy in the form of heat to generate steam power.


What kind of plant reproduction occurs when a root stem or leaf producers a new plant?

its a type of propigation either the leaf, root, or steam. how this works is they take a peice of the root leaf and or stem into the soil with a piece of the plant sticking out of the soil. what happens is an the plant grows from these they will star growing roots and root hairs(which absorbs water and nutrients)


What two ways are plant cells different from animal cells?

Plants have two main differences from animals. They have a cell wall and chloroplasts. The cell wall is like an additional plasma membrane except it's stiff and gives the plant support. The chloroplasts are what makes photosynthesis possible.


Can your eyes steam up?

no, cataracts can blur the vision but eyes don't naturally fog up OR in my case, yes. Yes they can. I do not wear contacts, have 20 20 vision with no eye problems. Ignoring the fact that if I blow into hot drinks, they steam up.

What are three types of geothermal energy?

Dry Steam Power Plant : generates power directly from the steam from inside the earth.Flash Steam Power Plant : Flash steam plants use waters at temperatures greater than 360F. As this hot water flows up, it is collected in a flash tank where drop in pressure causes the liquid to boil into steam. The steam is then used to run turbines which in turn generate power. The condensed steam is returned to the reservoir.Binary Steam Power Plant : This type of plant uses high temperature geothermal water to heat another liquid which has a lower boiling point than water.
