- ENERGY SOURCES & POWER STATIONS
- non renewable energy sources will run out
- non renewables are the 3 fossil fuels - and nuclear energy
- 1. coal2. oil3. natural gas4. nuclear fuels (uranium & plutonium)
- non renewables are the 3 fossil fuels - and nuclear energy
- renewable energy resources will never run out
- renewables are; wind / waves / tides / hydro electric / solar / geothermal / food / biofuels
- energy sources can be burned to drive turbines in power stations
- 1. fossil fuel is burned to convert its stored chemical energyinto heat energy
- 2. heat energy is used to heat water to produce steam
- 3. steam turns the turbine converting heat energy into kinetic enrergy
- 4. the turbine connects to a generator which transfers kinetic energy to electrical energy
- 3. steam turns the turbine converting heat energy into kinetic enrergy
- 2. heat energy is used to heat water to produce steam
- 1. fossil fuel is burned to convert its stored chemical energyinto heat energy
- nuclear reactors
- 1. nuclear power station uses the same method as team and turbines - but with nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium producing the heat to make steam
- 2. nuclear power stations take the longest time to start up. natural gas stations take the shortest time of all fissil fuels stations
- 1. nuclear power station uses the same method as team and turbines - but with nuclear fission of uranium or plutonium producing the heat to make steam
- non renewable energy sources will run out
