What else can I help you with?
The electricity energy that is transferred in a TV comes from a power stationwhere is the energy transferred from to make the electricity in the power station?
Depends on what kind of power station it is, can bea nuclear power plant, a coal-burning power plant, a wind turbine, or a hydroelectric power station.
What is coal sed for?
Coal is used for burning to make heat. At home in a fire, at a power station to generate electricity.
What is a coal-fired energy plant?
A coal-fired energy plant is one that burns coal (as the source of energy) to make electricity or drive machinery.
What type of energy is used in a Coal Burning Power Plant to make electricity?
Coal burns- heats water- water turns to steam- steam rises and turns turbines- turbines contain magnets and copper wires, as the magnet rotates around copper, electricity is generated, it is fed off through wires
What type of power plant burns material to make electricity?
A power plant that burns material to make electricity is called a thermal power plant, also known as a combustion power plant. These plants use fossil fuels like coal, natural gas, or oil as the primary material for combustion to generate heat, produce steam, and drive turbines to generate electricity.
Is burnig a useful chemical reaction?
Burning is a VERY useful chemical reaction. Automobile engines depend of burning- as does the furnace that heats your home, and the oven that bakes your bread, or the power plant that burns oil, coal or natural gas to make electricity.
What can you do to stop global warming in the simplest terms?
Get your government to make the switch from coal-fired electricity power stations to solar and wind farms. Plant billions of trees all around the world. If we stop burning oil and coal tomorrow, that will stop global warming.
How does a coal power plant work?
Coal is burnt to produce heat to make water boil. The steam drives a turbine which turns a generator to make electricity.
How does a thermal plant work?
A thermal power plant is where electricity is produced by steam turning turbines which drive generators. The steam can come from burning any kind of fuel, namely, fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), or nuclear fusion. It can also come from renewable energy (solar, geothermal, ocean thermal, biomass and biofuel).
What kind energy does a power plant have?
It depends on the type of power plant. Some of the most common is coal (which is used to make steam to create power) one of the least common in the us is nuclear power.
How does a coal-fired power plant work?
In a coal-fired power plant, coal is burned to produce heat, which is used to boil water and produce steam. The steam drives a turbine connected to a generator, which generates electricity. The electricity is then transmitted through power lines to homes and businesses for use.
How much does it cost to make a coal fired power plant?
A conventional plant costs about $780 million to build, according to Bechtel...a comparable coal-gas plant would cost about $975 million. source: http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/18/news/economy/coal/
