How efficient are natural gas power plants compared to other types of power plants?
Natural gas power plants are generally more efficient than other types of power plants, such as coal or oil-fired plants. They can convert a higher percentage of the energy in natural gas into electricity, making them a more efficient and cleaner option for generating power.
Why are there more coal power plants then solar power plants?
There are more coal plants than solar plants because the cost per Mega-Watt is much less using coal than solar power, and currently coal is more efficient. The problem today is that in a environmentally conscious society coal is a 'dirty' fuel, and solar power is clean. That is why environmentalists are pushing for more Solar (and wind) power generation.
Why did you stop using steamboats?
Because modern power plants can be built smaller, more efficient and quicker to bring online.
Are plant cells more efficient in carrying out its functions than animal cells?
No, Plants are not more efficient. Animals are more efficient because they coordinate by hormones and CNS ( Central Nervous System ). But plants coordinate only by hormones, therefore animals are more efficient.
How efficient are conventional power plants?
Efficiency of power plants is usually measured as a ratio of the total amount of electrical power produced divided by the total amount of heat generated, expressed as a percentage. Thus, if a power plant produces 100 MWh thermal, and this is converted to 38 MWh of electricity, the plant is 38% efficient. Most power plants are 35% to 40% efficient. This is true for nuclear as well as fossil fuel plants. Some plants are much more efficient. A natural gas plant, used in a situation with cogeneration, can be as much as 65% efficient. The lost heat is put into the environment and is referred to as thermal pollution.
Does green electricity make more power than other methods?
No. Some forms of renewable energy (e.g. solar cells) are much less efficient than conventional energy sources. Modern coal and natural gas power plants are about as efficient as it is possible to make an energy source. Hydroelectric power plants are about the only renewable energy source with efficiency near coal and natural gas power plants.
What would there be if there was no electricity?
You said it, no electricity. But with the advent of more efficient solar, wind and hydro power plants we'll pretty much have a power supply until the planet dies.
How can you make power plants more efficient?
reduce waste, for example reduce loss of heat to surroundings, reduce sound produced so on so on
Howis the wind power evvironmental friendly?
Well, windmills that run off of the winds power produce power, but no waste. This means that they are more efficient and idealistic as power sources over power and oil plants that ruin the environment around them.
What plants in the arctic?
there are plants in the arctic but not useally in the cold part more in the winter part
How does plant reproduction get more efficient as more complex plants evolve?
well they dont
Why are C4 plants more efficient in photosynthesis compared to C3 plants?
C4 plants are more efficient in photosynthesis compared to C3 plants because they have a specialized mechanism that helps them minimize water loss and increase carbon dioxide uptake, allowing them to photosynthesize more efficiently in hot and dry conditions.
