The steam turbine blades to turn creates steam.

The steam engine, steam piston Myllng after the turn brings.

They are both steam-engines. The turbine is purely rotative; the reciprocating steam-engine uses cylinders and pistons.

Does thermal energy run on gasoline?

Gasoline can combusted and given out thermal energy but I suspect the questing ask about thermal energy plant. Thermal energy plant usually referred to Geothermal power plant or Solarthermal power plant. Geothermal plant run on the thermal energy from earth and Solarthermal run on the solar radiation transformed to heat. If the question ask for the latter then no, thermal energy plant doesn't run on gasoline.


What type of object is used to transfer thermal energy into electrical energy?

geothermal plant


What is difference between structure of steam turbine in thermal power plant and nuclear power plant?

Nothing, except possibly size, but that would be because of different power rating of plant not different type of plant.


What is the difference between a nuclear power plant and an oil power plant?

The source of the thermal energy is obviously completely different, but the steam side, turbo-generator, etc is very similar.


What is the energy transformation of geothermal power plant?

In a geothermal power plant, the energy transformation involves converting heat from beneath the Earth's surface into electricity. This process typically involves using geothermal fluids or steam to drive turbines connected to generators, producing electricity for various uses.


Is solar energy the same as solar thermal?

No. Solar power is not the same as thermal energy. Thermal energy is the random kinetic motion of microscopic molecule. Solar power on the other hand is derived from electromagnetic waves. For example: lets take a plant. If you put a plant in a dark room and heat the plant, the plant will still die even though it is supplied with thermal energy. However if you now add light(of specific wavelengths) the plant will thrive. So the plant can discern the difference between thermal energy and solar energy. Hope that helps


How is geothermal energy an alternative energy?

Geothermal energy is a renewable source of energy because it can be re-used, unlike fossil fuels. Geo- means earth, and -thermal means heat. A power plant will use the heat energy found deep in the earth to create electricity. Since the thermal energy of the earth will never go away, geothermal energy is a renewable source.

Where is the largest thermal power station in NewZealand?

Since this question is in the "nuclear energy" category, I assume it relates to nuclear thermal reactor. To my knowledge there are no nuclear plants in New Zealand. It would make sense, however, for the question to refer to a geothermal plant and be in the wrong category. If that is the case, the the answer is the Wairakei Plant at Wairakei, at about the center of the North Island. This plant is scheduled to be decommissioned in 2011. When it is, the largest geothermal plant in New Zealand will be the Nga Awa Purua Power station in Taupo, which is also at about the center of the North Island.


How much does it cost to keep a geothermal power plant running?

The cost of running a geothermal power plant can vary depending on factors such as maintenance, repair, operational expenses, and labor. On average, it can cost between $0.03 to $0.05 per kilowatt-hour to operate a geothermal power plant. Additionally, initial investment costs for building a geothermal power plant can range from $2 million to $7 million per megawatt of capacity.
