Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) are made from ancient plants and animals. Organic matter deposited 300 million years ago came under great pressure and over the years turned into coal, oil and gas.

If 35 percent of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called the what of the power plant?

It is the efficiency of the power plant.


How much fuel is needed to run a power plant for 1 day?

The amount of fuel needed to run a power plant for one day will vary depending on the type of fuel used (e.g., coal, natural gas, nuclear). For example, a coal-fired power plant may require several thousand tons of coal per day, while a natural gas power plant may need thousands of cubic meters of natural gas. The specific fuel consumption rate of the power plant and its efficiency will also impact the amount of fuel needed.


A large modern nuclear power plant has approximately how many fuel assemblies in its core?

A large modern nuclear power plant typically has around 200-250 fuel assemblies in its core. Each fuel assembly contains numerous fuel rods that house the uranium fuel used to generate heat for electricity production.


Why neyveli power plant is located on that place?

The Neyveli power plant is located in Neyveli, Tamil Nadu, India because it is close to lignite mines, which provide fuel for the power plant. Proximity to the fuel source helps reduce transportation costs and ensures a steady supply of fuel for the power generation. Additionally, the plant's location in a relatively rural area helps minimize environmental impact on densely populated areas.


How many fuel assemblies in its core does a large modern nuclear power plant?

It depends on the particular design and the design objectives. One plant that I worked at had 137 control rods, each having four bundles, for a total bundle count of 548 assemblies. Each assembly had 62 fuel rods and two water rods in an 8 x 8 matrix.

Where does the energy fossil fuel come from?

The sun. Fossil fuels are made up of plants and animals that lived in the past and have been converted to fossil fuels by geological processes over time. And as plants convert the suns energy into sugars, fossil fuels are stored solar energy.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The energy comes from the energy that was previously in dead plants/animals... to understand better read about the carboniferous period.

What did the plants and animals look like before they turned into fossil fuel?

Fossil fuels come from decayed plants and animals. Oil typically comes from dead marine life. Coal comes from decaying plants. So, before they are transformed into fuels (which can take millions of years), the decaying organic material is likely to be brown. Of course, before they die, the plants and animal look just like they do today.


Who invented coal?

Coal is a naturally occurring fossil fuel that formed millions of years ago from decaying plant matter. It was not invented by any one person but rather has been used by humans for thousands of years for heating and energy purposes.
