a.The schematic of which power plant is shown in the diagram?
b. What is used as source of energy in the given power plant?
c.State one advantage and disadvantage associated with the given power plant.
d. Draw flow chart for energy transformation in the given power plant.
Answers
B. Other than thermal power plant, nuclear power plants, solar power plants use thermal energy for power generation. Different ways of generating thermal energy are: Using fossil fuels: By burning fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, the chemical energy stored in them is converted into thermal energy.
C. Advantage: A very small amount of nuclear fuel can produce a tremendous amount of electricity energy.
Disadvantage: Very harmful nuclear radiations are produced in the process which are highly energetic and penetrating.
Answer:
a. The schematic of hydroelectric plant is shown in the figure.
b. kinetic energy or potential energy
Explanation:
b. Kinetic energy in flowing water or potential energy in water reservoir is a conventional source of energy
c.
Advantage: Since no fuel is burnt in hydroelectric power generation, there is no pollution resulting from combustion of fuels.
Disadvantage: The Black water due to storage of water in dam may submerge villages or towns in that area. This leads to the problems of rehabilitation in the displaced population. Moreover, this can also submerge forests as well as the fertile lands
d. Potential energy--- Kinetic energy in flowing water--- Kinetic energy in turbine--- Electrical energy
