Explain how the law of conservation of energy is applied to the generation of electricity from fossil fuels.
sweet [91]

Explanation:

The law of conservation in generation of electricity from fossil fuels;

 Fossil fuels are derived from the remains of plants and animals.

These fuels stores and preserves chemical energy which have produced through their activities which originates from the sun as form of solar energy.

The chemical energy is obtained for used as fossil fuels.

As fuels, they combine with oxygen in power generating plant to produce heat energy. The combustion process transforms chemical energy to heat energy.

The heat energy is used to heat boilers of water to produce steam. Heat energy is expressed as thermal kinetic energy which are converted to mechanical energy to drive turbines. The turbine is connected to a generator where electricity is produced.

This totally agrees with the law of conservation of energy.

The law states that "energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another"

Chemical energy - heat energy - mechanical energy - electrical energy

Which waste management process involves the burning of solid waste?
damaskus [11]

Solid waste Incineration management process involves the burning of solid waste

<u>Explanation:</u>

Incineration is the process of burning of solid wastes. It is one of the processes of solid waste management. In this process, combustion of organic and inorganic wastes takes place that leads to the formation of ash, heat and flue gases. Ash is composed of inorganic constituents.

The heat generated during this process can be used to generate electricity. The process is carried out by Incinerators. Incinerators does not completely replace landfilling but it reduces the volume of disposal of the wastes.
