Question 8 • Chemistry

What change of energy occurs between the steam generator and the turbine?

Answer
A
Mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy.
B
Thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy.
C
Nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy.
D
Chemical energy is converted into nuclear energy.

Explanation

In the steam generator, heat turns water into high-pressure steam. As the steam flows to the turbine, it spins the turbine, so thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy. The electrical energy is produced later by a generator.
