Worksheet time: 5mins
Which fuel has the highest usage rate in generating electricity?
Coal
Natural Gas
Wind
Petroleum
In what part of the process is heat energy from the fuel source released?
The boiler
The furnace
The turbine
The condenser
Give the conditions of the steam that the boiler produces
High heat, low pressure
High heat, high pressure
Lowers incoming heat, high pressure
Lowers incoming heat, low pressure
Given your knowledge, what device does this image depict? (Use CTRL + if you need to zoom in)
A boiler
A furnace
A turbine
A condenser
True or False (and more) - The heat energy in steam is converted into mechanical energy.
True, but some of the energy is lost in the process
False, because it is in the generator where the heat energy is converted into mechanical and then electrical
True, and the condenser makes sure no energy is lost by nonconservative forces
False, because the turbine does not actually change the energy into mechanical, it produces mechanical from a different energy source and uses moves the heat energy to the next part of the process
David is trying to make his turbine more efficient, but he keeps failing and losing more and more profit, falling into bankruptcy (and depression). What can he do to increase his profit through energy conservation and reuse?
Make sure that incoming steam is at a low pressure and low heat and outgoing steam is at a high heat and high pressure
Make sure that incoming steam is at a low pressure and high heat and outgoing steam is at a low heat and high pressure
Make sure that incoming steam is at a high pressure and high heat and outgoing steam is at a low heat and low pressure
Nothing, this is David we're talking about
