What useful energy transfers in a wind turbine and a generator?

Kinetic energy is transferred to electrical energy.


What is the useful energy transfer in a wind turbine and generater?

The useful energy transfer in a wind turbine occurs when wind turns the blades, causing the rotor to spin and generate mechanical energy. This mechanical energy is then converted into electricity by the generator, which produces usable electrical energy for powering homes and businesses.


How is hydroelectric energy change into other useful forms of energy?

Hydroelectric energy is typically converted into electricity through a turbine connected to a generator. This mechanical energy is then transformed into electrical energy in the generator, which can be transmitted through power lines for various uses.


What are useful and non-useful energy transfers for wind?

Example: TV. Electricity- Heat, light, sound. Useful energy transfers would be electricity- light, sound because that's what your TV actually needs, but electricity- heat would be wasted energy or a non-useful energy transfer because your TV does not need to produce heat, unless of course you can't afford central heating, but then isn't heating more important than a TV???? Summary: Useful energy transfer: The purpose of the object is fufilled by this transfer. Non-useful energy transfer: The purpose of the object is not fufilled by this transfer, and in effect, this transfer is a "side effect" of the useful energy transfer. These transfers waste energy.


What is device that transforms thermal energy to mechanical energy?

Steam engine is a device that transforms thermal energy into mechanical energy. An internal combustion engine (I.C Engine) can transform thermal energy into mechanical energy. In nuclear power plant also the heat energy released is used to turn the turbine and thus thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy of rotation of turbine. This mechanical energy of turbine is further converted into electrical energy in generator.

What is the energy transform that happens in the generator?

The generators transfer mechanical energy into very useful electrical energy.


How does a turbine and generator work?

The turbine converts pressure & heat energy (in steam turbine & gas turbine), velocity energy (in hydro turbine) into mechanical energy which produces rotation of the turbine. This mechanical force is used to rotate the rotor(which is coupled with the same shaft as that of turbine) of the generator which converts this mechanical energy into electrical energy.

How useful are wind turbines?

The wind turbines is a machine that converts the kinetic energy in wind into mechanical energy. If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as a pump or grinding stones, The machine is usually called a windmill. If the energy is then converted to electricity, the machine is called a wind generator, wind turbine, or wind energy converter.


What is and example of energy conversion that produces a useful result?

An example of energy conversion that produces a useful result is converting mechanical energy from a flowing river into electrical energy using a hydroelectric power plant. The flowing water turns a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity. This conversion of energy allows for the generation of renewable and sustainable electricity that can be used to power homes, businesses, and industries.


What energy is a type of energy that is not useful?

Transform solar radiation to electricity use solarcell and not the turbine. Transformation of energy from fuel to mechanical energy may use internal combustion engine and don't need to use turbine.

What does turbine do?

A turbine rotates as a fluid flows through it, and depending on the type of turbine, converts its rotational energy into certain types of useful work. Learn more by following the link I provided.
