What is the energy transformation in a nuclear power plant
Dear student,
Three mutual conversions of energy forms occur at nuclear power plants: nuclear energy is converted into thermal energy, thermal energy is converted into mechanical energy, and mechanical energy is converted into electric energy.
Nuclear reaction take place which result in enormus heat energy which helps to heat the water or any other liquid in order to turn it to vapour and it is kept at high pressure and then it is released from a exit where fan blades are installed which start rotating when vapour pressure hits the blade and finally blade rotates and motor is installed with blade which convert mechanical energy into electrical energy in this way transformation of energy takes place.
Regards.
