Describe three different ways that a power company might produce steam to turn a turbine?
There are many different ways to heat water hot enough to produce steam to turn a turbine, including:
- heat energy produced by burning coal
- heat energy produced by waste incineration
- heat energy produced by a controlled nuclear chain reaction
- heat energy extracted from hot rocks deep underground
- converting sunlight to heat energy
There are relatively few ways that the steam is converted back to water.

How many kg of steam required to produce 1 KWh for steam turbine of 30bar pressure and 390oC temp?
I'm currently benchmarking a number of plants in my company which produce steam for downstream processing. What is a typical kWh/kg of steam ratio I could set as a best practice target? Thanks Paul
How can a 5mph wind turn a wind turbine?
With a new kind of wind turbine called a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) that can produce electricity in winds as low as 5 mph.
How do you produce electricity from biodegradable waste?
Biodegradable waste can be digested by bacteria which will produce methane as a byproduct; methane is a flammable gas that can be used as fuel to run a turbine that generates electricity.
What things can a turbine be pushed by?
You can't. They are nearly opposites. The pump uses energy to change fluid flow and the turbine uses fluid flow to produce energy. Actually, you can convert a pump into a turbine. You need all the specifications, though. The most important being the head. There are a number of manuals one can check out
Describe briefly the working of a hydro electric power station?
Turbine is moved with flow of water and this is coupled with generator to produce electricity
What does a turbine produce?
A turbine is most commonly connected to a generator to produce electricity. The turbine may be turned by water falling into it, and a generator produces electricity by turning through a magnetic field.
How do waterfalls produce electricity?
Build a turbine at the bottom and the rotation of the turbine generates the electricity.
How many MW does a kaplan turbine produce?
The maximum power of a Kaplan Turbine is about 230MW
When was Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company created?
Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company was created in 1897.
How many Megawatts does one turbine produce?
The power output of a wind turbine can vary depending on its size and wind conditions, but on average, a single turbine can produce between 2 to 3 megawatts of electricity.
What is the relationship turbine and generator?
steam powers a turbine which drives a generator to produce electrical power
What we need to produce nuclear electricity?
steam turbine
What is a different between the turbine and genetrators?
A turbine drives a generator.
How does nuclear fission spin a turbine?
Nuclear fission generates heat which is used to produce steam. The high-pressure steam spins a turbine by expanding through its blades. The turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy from the spinning turbine into electricity.
Which type of energy does not use a turbine to produce electricity?
solar
