Explain with diagram step-by-step energy conversion in:
Thermal power plant.

Explanation

In a thermal power plant coal is used as fuel.
b. Conversion of chemical energy in coal to thermal enrgy:When the coal is burned, the chemical energy in coal is converted to thermal energy .
c. conversion of thrmal energy to kinetic energy in steam :This thermal energy is used to heat the water present in a boiler . Steam of very high temperature and pressure is generated and directed on the blandes of the turbine .
d. Conversion of kinetic energy in steam to kinetic energyin turbine:The kinetic energy produced in the steam is then used to drive the turbine.
e. Conversion of kinetic enrgy in turbine to electrical energy:The turbine rotates the generator connected to it which in turn produces electrical energy.
