Energy conversions

2. Transformation of Energy from One Form to Another
Let consider coal that was mined to fuel the boilers of an electric utility plant.
The chemical energy in the coal is transformed through the process burning into heat energy.

3. Transformation of Energy from One Form to Another
Heat energy will boil the water into high pressure steam to drive the turbine.
The mechanical energy of the rotated turbine will transformed into electrical energy by generator.
The electrical energy then transmitted to the final users.
Energy is conserved in each time transformation.
