How is energy converted in a hydroelectric plant?

Chemistry
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Energy is converted in a hydroelectric plant as follows;

The kinetic energy of water turns turbines; the mechanical energy of the turbines turns the generator, which produces electrical energy

Explanation:

The water in an hydroelectric plant is given potential energy by building an artificial dam to raise the height of the water above the turbine

The high potential energy of the water is converted to kinetic energy which provides the power that turns the turbine transforming the kinetic energy of the water into rotational kinetic energy of the turbine by conservation of mechanical energy;

The shaft connected between the turbine and the generator, turns the generator by the mechanical energy of the turbine and as the generator turns in a magnetic field, electricity is produced by magnetic induction according to Faraday's law.

How could you engineer a device that produces beneficial friction and heat?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Hi

Explanation:

That's why rubbing your hands together makes them warmer. ... Friction causes the molecules on rubbing surfaces to move faster, so they have more energy. This gives them a higher temperature, and they feel warmer. Heat from friction can be useful.

Classify each of the coordination compounds according to the coordination number.
amid [387]

Coordination number has to do with the number of ligands that is attched to the central metal atom/ion.

<h3>What is coordination number?</h3>

The term coordination number has to do with the number of ligands that is attched to the central metal atom/ion. The coordination sphere contains this central metal along with associated ligands.

The question is incomplete. However, if I have something like, K3[Cr(H2O)6], the coordination number of the complex is six.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

f = 80  flutter/ second

T= 0.0125 sec

Explanation:

Given data:

Fluttering of wings = 4800 time per minute

Frequency of wings = ?

Period for one wing in sec = ?

Solution:

There are 60 seconds in one minute, thus frequency of wings

4800/60 = 80  flutter per second

Period:

T = 1/f

T = 1/80

T= 0.0125 sec
