Answer:
In conventional (coal) thermal power plants chemical energy (in coa) is converted into heat energy, which in turn is converted into electrical energy. In a Thermal Power Plant, energy is extracted through coal ignition. Hence, chemical energy of coal is used as a fuel in Thermal Power Plants.
Explanation:
please mark me brilliant
The energy conversions that take place in a coal fired power plant are as follows.
Chemical potential energy, in the form of coal (Step D) => Heat energy (Step C) => Kinetic energy or mechanical energy (Step B) => Electrical energy (Step A).
Every time energy is converted from one form into another a great amount of it is lost during the conversion. The less energy conversion steps, therefore, the more efficient the production of electricity becomes.
A major difference between a nuclear power station and a coal fired power station is the way heat energy is produced to heat the water. Describe the difference between a nuclear power station and a coal fired power station.
