What else can I help you with?
Why is coal a good energy source?
It is easily found and extracted, it burns easily and gives a good thermal energy output, better than wood for example.
A solid fuel which can be used in a boiler or an open fire?
One example of a solid fuel is coal. Coal was used in many early factories during the beginning of the industrial, but was phased out because it was not a clean burning fuel source.
Is coal a better fuel than wood?
Usually coal is a more appealing fuel source than wood. It, for one thing, burns MUCH faster then wood does. Also, it is cheaper, and more abundant. So overall, i believe that coal is your answer.But coal is a fossil fuel which takes atleast thousands of years ti form where as wood comes in 10 years of minimum
What is the source of biomass energy?
the sources of biomass energy are garbage, wood, waste, landfill gases, and alcohol fuels.
What energy source powered the steam engine?
Other to coal I suppose you mean. Burning of any fuel like oil, wood, etc. Nuclear reactors. I suspect solar energy would make steam. It would be possible to use natural steam from deep in the ground.
What is the original source of energy for energy recourse such as wind wood oil and coal?
The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy on earth.
How does BTU of energy in wood compare to BTU of energy in coal?
Wood generally has a lower BTU value compared to coal. Coal is a more concentrated source of energy, with higher BTU per pound than wood. This means that coal can produce more heat energy per unit of weight compared to wood.
What isn't a renewable source of energy?
Oil Coal Natural gas Wood
Do coal produce more energy than wood?
Yes, coal produces more energy than wood when burned. Coal is more carbon-dense and has a higher energy content compared to wood. This is why coal has been traditionally favored as a fuel source for power generation and industrial processes.
Why was coal a more appealing fuel source than wood?
It produces more energy
When did coal replace wood as a chief energy source?
Coal began to replace the wood in the 1800s because the wood became scarce in some places. in the 1900s coal replace wood as a chief energy source because of its many used such as the fuel for steam engines which powered the many railroad engines popular during the period, and fuel for the steam turbines used in the production for electricity.
What nonrenewable energy source?
nonrenewable energy sources are sources that are depleted sources as fossil fuels (wood, coal, natural gas, and oil)
Energy stored in wood and coal came from the same source what is it?
Both wood and coal are derived from organic matter that originally came from plants. This organic matter stored energy from the sun through photosynthesis, which is then released when the wood or coal is burned as fuel.
Which gives us more heat?
The Sun is the ultimate source of energy. It provides solar energy which is responsible for light as well as heat. Hence, no other body can give more heat than the sun.
What is the ultimate source for biomass energy?
The ultimate source for biomass energy is organic matter derived from plants and animals. This can include wood, crop residues, animal waste, and algae. When burned or converted into biofuels, biomass can release energy in the form of heat, electricity, or transportation fuels.
Why is coal a good energy source?
It is easily found and extracted, it burns easily and gives a good thermal energy output, better than wood for example.
Where does coal rank in terms of energy?
after wood
