Explain with diagram step-by-step energy conversion inNuclear power plant |
|
Answer» Solution :In a nuclear power plant, uranium or plutonium are used as FUEL. B. Conversion of nuclear energy to THERMAL energy during nuclear fission PROCESS :During the fission of nuclei of atoms like uranium or plutonium, the nuclear energy is converted to thermal energy. c.Conversion of thermal energy to kinetic energy in stean:This thermal energy is used to heat the water present in a boiler . Steam of very high temperature and pressure is generated and directed on the blandes of the turbine . d.Conversion of kinetic energy in steam to kinetic energyin turbine:The kinetic energy produced in thesteam is then used to drive the turbine. e Conversion of kinetic energy in turbine toelectrical energy:The turbine rotates the generator connected to it which in turn PRODUCES electrical energy.
