  1. Energy transformations PE & KE

  2. Converting PE to KE • More useable forms of energy are?

  3. Forms of Energy • Potential Energy • Chemical • Mechanical • Nuclear • Gravitational • Kinetic Energy • Motion • Sound • Electrical • Radiant • Thermal

  4. Energy Transformations • What are the energy transformations in a thermal powerplant? • Biomass • Coal • Geothermal • Natural Gas

  5. Thermal powerplantconversion steps using Chemical PE • Chemical PE Thermal KE (combustion) • Thermal KE  Motion KE (Pressurized steam) • Motion KE  Mechanical PE (Spinning a turbine) • Mechanical PE  Electrical KE (Generator)

  6. Gravitational powerplantconversion steps using gravitational PE • Gravitational PE  Mechanical PE (Spinning a turbine) • Mechanical PE  Electrical KE (Generator)

  7. Thermal powerplantconversion steps using Nuclear PE • Nuclear PE Thermal KE (nuclear fission) • Thermal KE  Motion KE (Pressurized steam) • Motion KE  Mechanical PE (Spinning a turbine) • Mechanical PE  Electrical KE (Generator)

  8. Thermal powerplantconversion steps using Geothermal • Thermal KE  Motion KE (Pressurized steam) • Motion KE  Mechanical PE (Spinning a turbine) • Mechanical PE  Electrical KE (Generator)

  9. Solar Panels • Nuclear PE  Radiant KE (Sunlight) • Radiant KE  Electrical KE (Solar Panel)

  10. Wind Turbines • Motion KE  Motion KE (Spinning Turbine) • Motion KE  Electrical KE (Generator)
