Nuclear energy on the other hand is a result of heat generated through the fission process of atoms. All power plants convert heat into electricity using steam. At nuclear power plants‚ the heat to make the steam is created when atoms split apart - called fission. The fission releases energy in the form of heat and neutrons. The released neutrons then goes on to hit other neutrons and repeat the process‚ hence generating more heat. In most cases the fuel used for nuclear fission is uranium. Most

Geothermal Power Generating Systems There are several types of geothermal power generating plants. There is the single-flash‚ double-flash‚ dry-steam and binary cycle. These power plants can be converted into more advanced geothermal converting systems like hybrid single flash and double flash sytems‚ hybrid flash-binary systems‚ hybrid fossil-geothermal systems‚ hot dry rock (enhanced geothermal systems)‚ Power plants for hypersalline brines‚ etc.. This paper will be focusing on Single-flash steam

Direct exchange Direct exchange geothermal heat pump The Direct exchange geothermal heat pump is the oldest type of geothermal heat pump technology. It is also the simplest and easiest to understand. The ground-coupling is achieved through a single loop circulating refrigerant in direct thermal contact with the ground (as opposed to a combination of a refrigerant loop and a water loop). The refrigerant leaves the heat pump appliance cabinet‚ circulates through a loop of copper tube buried

[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential
