What is the difference between a nuclear power station and coal fired power station?
The difference is in the name; nuclear power plants produce electricity via a nuclear reaction producing head to turn a turbine, whereas coal fired power plants burn coal to produce the same efffect.
Where is Canada Water tube station?
The Canada Water tube station is in the United Kingdom in south London in Rotherhithe. The station is named after a lake in the vicinity that is called Canada Water.
What is a river in the North Island?
Manapouri is New Zealand's largest hydro power station, (850MW) but it is not on a river. It is fed from Lake Manapouri and is in an ecavated underground cave 200m below the lake surface. Water from the power station runs through underground tailraces to Deep Cove in Doubtful Sound. About 3/4 of the power produced by Manapouri is used by the aluminum smelter at Tiwai Point. The Benmore hydro power station on the Waitaki river has a capacity of 540 MW and is the second largest hydro power station in New Zealand, therefore the river wth the largest hydro power station is the Waitaki.
How do astronauts get water on the space station?
They take the water with them. they will have to reuse it a well.
What is the stages of electricity production in a coal fired power station?
The coal is burned to generate heat. The heat is used to boil water which creates steam. The steam is used to turn large turbines. The rotary motion of the turbines generates electricity. The voltage of the electricity produced is 'stepped up' by means of a transformer. The high-voltage is fed to the national grid system for distribution.
How does gas fired power station works?
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.
How a coal fired power station generates mains electricity?
The coal heats water into steam the steam runs turbines connected to generators.
what are energy transformations in a coal fired power station?
Coal is burned to produce heat, which then is transferred to water/steam, which produces mechanical power in the steam turbine, which produces electrical power from the generator
How does a coal fired power station produce electricity?
A coal fired station burns coal to produce heat. The heat boils water to produce high pressure and temperature steam. The steam expands in a turbine to rotate the shaft. The turbines rotation drives a generator. The generator produces electricity which is sent out to the consumers.
What are three different power stations and the names of those power stations across south Africa?
Koeberg Nuclear Power Station: Located in Western Cape, it is the only nuclear power station in South Africa. Medupi Power Station: Located in Limpopo, it is a coal-fired power station that is still under construction. Gariep Dam: This hydroelectric power station is located in Free State and generates electricity using water from the Gariep Dam.
Is a power station the same as nuclear power?
No, there are many kinds of power stations:nuclear fissioncoalnatural gasoilhydroelectricwind turbinestidalinternal combustion (gas, diesel, kerosene)gas turbine (basically a non-propulsion jet engine)trash incineration power station (usually fired on a mix of paper & plastics)solar cellsolar water boileretc.
How does a gas-powered station work?

What does a hydroelectric power station need to function?
In order for a hydroelectic power station to function, the station will need a large supply of water. The station will also require large generators with turbines in order to create power from the pressure of the water.
What is hydroelectric power stations?
A power station that harnesses power from running water.
What are the uses for the tugela river?
The Tugela is not navigable. Water is pumped from the Tugela into the Vaal River system. Land uses are farming and commercial timber. There was a Power Station used by South African Railways to electrify to line north of Pietermaritzburg. The station was coal fired and used water from the Tugela in its cooling system
What power station changes the Potential Energy of water into Electrical Energy?
A hydro station.
What is another name for hydroelectric power station?
water
