Question 5 • SC332 Environmental Science B

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

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

Explanation

The steam generator heats water to produce high-pressure steam, so the energy reaching the turbine is thermal energy. As the steam flows through the turbine, it spins the blades, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. Therefore, the correct choice is “Thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy.”
