In a large scale thermal power station some primary energy source is used to change liquid water into steam. The steam is then used, most often, to turn a turbine to generate electricity. In some cities, the steam is sent to other factories or apartment buildings to be used in different ways.
The energy used to make the steam comes from a variety of sources. Nuclear fission and the burning (oxidation) of natural gas or coal are almost 100% of the sources. In rare situations, sunlight or the burning of new bio-fuels or trash could be used.
What else can I help you with?
What is the energy conversion that occur when coal is formed and then burned to produce thermal energy?
When coal is formed, the energy conversion process involves the transformation of organic plant matter into coal through heat and pressure over millions of years. When coal is burned to produce thermal energy, the stored chemical energy in coal is converted into heat energy through combustion, releasing heat and producing steam that can be used to generate electricity.
When a plant falls from a window its thermal energy is transformed into kinetic energy?
When a plant falls from a window, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground. This conversion results in an increase in the plant's speed and movement due to the force of gravity acting on it.
Which energy transformation occurs first in a coal burning power plant?
In a coal burning power plant, the first energy transformation that occurs is the chemical energy stored in the coal being converted into thermal energy through combustion. This thermal energy is then used to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity.
What is sustainable energy in a thermal power plant?
"Sustainable" in this context refers to the source of the energy. If the thermal power plant burns petroleum for example, it is not sustainable, since there is a fairly limited supply of petroleum.
Is thermal heat and electricity is same?
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
In a natural gas power plant natural gas is burned to heat steam which turns a turbine. What energy conversion is happening in a natural gas power plant?
In a natural gas power plant, chemical energy stored in natural gas is converted into thermal energy through combustion. This thermal energy is then used to heat water, producing steam that drives a turbine. The mechanical energy from the turbine is subsequently converted into electrical energy by a generator. Thus, the process involves the conversion of chemical energy to thermal energy, then to mechanical energy, and finally to electrical energy.
Which type of alternator used in thermal power plant why?
Turbo Alternators are used in thermal power stations because of the steam energy to mechanical energy conversion turbo alternator is more effitient

35 of the fuel is converted into electricity this is called what of the power plant?
The conversion of fuel into electricity in a power plant is referred to as its "thermal efficiency." This term measures how effectively the plant converts the energy stored in fuel into electrical energy. In this case, if 35% of the fuel's energy is converted into electricity, the thermal efficiency of the power plant would be 35%.
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.
When a plant falls from a window its thermal energy is transformed into kinetic energy?
When a plant falls from a window, its potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it accelerates towards the ground. This conversion results in an increase in the plant's speed and movement due to the force of gravity acting on it.
What type of energy does a dead plant have?
No, a dead plant does not have thermal energy.
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.

What is the main source of energy use by the power plant?
Thermal energy
What synthesis energy in plant?
Photosynthesis is the conversion of water and sunlight into ATP (Energy) for the plant cells.
What is oil thermal power plant?
The oil thermal plant refers to the chemical energy that is stored in the fossil fuel like the natural gas, oil shale, fuel oil, and coal. They are usually successively converted into thermal energy, mechanical energy, and electrical energy.
What is the principle of thermal power plant?
To produce electricity by the use of thermal energy in the form of heat.
