What are the emissions from coal combustion at thermal power plants?
Oxides of Nitrogen Oxides of Sulphur
What is an application of flue gas?
About the most common application of flue gas is as a heat source. Recall that flue gas is the stack gas from plants fired with combustibles (coal, oil, gas, biomass, etc.), and it exhausts into the atmosphere. We spend a lot of money monitoring stack gas to keep the combustion process as tightly controlled as possible. That minimized emissions. The heat in the stack gas can be used to heat water or the like, and the preheated water can then be fed back into the boilers to create the steam that drives the turbines that generate electric power (which is one example, but a common one). The heating of the (boiler) feedwater with the flue gas increases the efficiency of the whole operation. It's classic steam cycle power generation, and the preheating of feedwater within the stack (by the flue gas) is a time-proven tactic to reduce costs.
What is an advantage of coal power plants over nuclear power plants?
Coal Power plants are cheaper to build.
What type of nuclear reaction are used in nuclear power plants?
fission
How often does a nuclear plants needs to be refueled?
every 3 days :P
What are the industries used in turbines?
Power plants use turbines to capture the kinetic energy of fluid flows and then turn a shaft and ultimately a generator with that energy. Jets engines are a classic use of turbines. They are used first to capture energy after combustion to drive generators as used in power plants, but on planes it is to power the plane, then second that same shaft turns other turbines at the start of the engine that compress intake air for better engine performance and further power (more oxygen => more combustion possible) --Scott UCSB
How many types of turbines?
three types of combustion chamber are used in gas turbine engine 1) Can type. 1.1 single can ; this again can be of two type a) straight through design b)reverse flow design 1.2 multiple can 2) tubo-annular (can-annular) 3) annular
How do plants classify?
You classify plants by their reproduction.
What are the main differences between an engine and a turbine?
An engine typically converts fuel into mechanical energy through combustion, while a turbine uses a fluid or gas to generate rotational motion. Engines are commonly found in vehicles and machinery, while turbines are often used in power plants and aircraft engines.
What is the difference between internal combustion engine and external combustion engine?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the Fuel is burnt in the cylinder or vessel eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Gasoline engines, Wankel engines, diesels, gas turbines are all examples of internal combustion.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burnt. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains.
Where are turbines used?
Power plants
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal combustion engines burn fuel inside the engine to generate power, while external combustion engines burn fuel outside the engine and use the resulting heat to create power, such as in steam engines. Internal combustion engines are more common in vehicles due to their compact size and efficiency, while external combustion engines are used in specific applications like power plants and some marine propulsion systems.
How do nuclear power plants and geothermal power plants turbines turn to produce electricity?
In nuclear power plants, the turbines are turned by steam that is created through the heat generated by nuclear fission reactions. In geothermal power plants, the turbines are turned by steam created from the Earth's heat stored in the ground, which is accessed through wells and used to drive the turbines.
How is fuel converted into energy?
Fuel is burned or reacted with oxygen in a combustion process, releasing heat energy. This heat energy is used to generate steam in power plants, which turns turbines to produce electricity. In vehicles, the combustion process produces heat that is converted into mechanical energy to power the vehicle.
What do scientist classify plants as?
Scientist classify plants as producers due their ability to make their own food. They are in the autotrophic level of the nutrient cycle.
What kingdown do most plants and animals belong to when difficult to classify?
lichens, corals, viruses, corals, viruses and carnivourous plants are difficult to classify :)
What is the majority of the world's electricity is supplied by?
The majority of the world's electricity is supplied by fossil fuels, specifically coal, natural gas, and oil. These sources are used in power plants to generate electricity through combustion or steam turbines.
