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.

In a reversible reaction, the endothermic reaction absorbs ____________ the exothermic reaction releases. A. less energy than B.
Alex Ar [27]

Answer: C. the same amount of energy as

Explanation:

A reversible reaction is a chemical reaction where the reactants form products that, in turn, react together to give the reactants back.

Reversible reactions will reach an equilibrium point where the concentrations of the reactants and products will no longer change.

A+B\rightleftharpoons C+D

Thus if forward reaction is exothermic i.e. the heat is released , the backward reaction will be endothermic i.e. the heat is absorbed and in same amount.

The amount of energy released will be equal and opposite in sign to the energy absorbed in that reaction.

What are the costs and benefits of using solar energy
fiasKO [112]
Advantages
Solar energy is a clean and renewable energy source.Once a solar panel is installed, solar energy can be produced free of charge.Solar energy will last forever whereas it is estimated that the world’s oil reserves will last for 30 to 40 years.Solar energy causes no pollution.Solar cells make absolutely no noise at all. On the other hand, the giant machines utilized for pumping oil are extremely noisy and therefore very impractical.Very little maintenance is needed to keep solar cells running. There are no moving parts in a solar cell which makes it impossible to really damage them.In the long term, there can be a high return on investment due to the amount of free energy a solar panel can produce, it is estimated that the average household will see 50% of their energy coming in from solar panels.

 
Disadvantages
Solar panels can be expensive to install resulting in a time-lag of many years for savings on energy bills to match initial investments.Electricity generation depends entirely on a countries exposure to sunlight; this could be limited by a countries climate.Solar power stations do not match the power output of similar sized conventional power stations; they can also be very expensive to build.Solar power is used to charge batteries so that solar powered devices can be used at night. The batteries can often be large and heavy, taking up space and needing to be replaced from time to time.
