Guide Questions:
1. Based on the given diagram, determine the energy conversion that occurs in
each of the following descriptions below.
Descriptions
Energy Conversion
1. The turbine is powered by high
pressurized steam provided by the
steam generator.
2. Turbine-powered generators
generate electricity, which is then
transferred to the transformer.
2. How does a powerplant generate electricity? Explain your answer.
Answers & Comments
Answer: (brainliest please)
1. Thermal energy (steam) to ,Mechanical Energy (turbine
2. Mechinal energy (turbine generators) to Electrical energy transformer
Explanation:
3. Nuclear power plants use reactors heat to turn water into steam. The steam is then sent through a turbine, which, as we’ve already learned, generates movement of a generator, which in turn generates electricity.
