How is recent combination cycle gas turbines lost?
factorys
What type of energy that is lost doing work is lost as what type of energy?
Usually thermal energy. This is true for all types of heat engines, ie gasoline or diesel engines, gas turbines, steam turbines, and so on. If you are talking about mechanical work like a system of levers, or pushing a weight along a surface, friction will be the cause of energy loss and this again will show as thermal energy loss (heat is produced at the points of friction)
What model shows how energy is lost as it flows through an ecosystem?
The water cycle!
In a power plant energy is lost as what?
Energy is lost as heat. A typical nuclear power plant produces about twice as much energy as waste heat as it does in electricity. Other power plants are not much better, except for such things as more modern gas plants, which can used combined cycle to recover some of the lost heat (nuclear could too) and even do cogeneration use more waste heat to heat buildings (which nuclear plants probably cannot).
Why oes a ball gets lower and lower when it bounces'?
Energy is lost in every cycle. "Lost" means simply that it is converted to some other kind of energy, such as heat or sound.
Defend the argument that nutrients can cycle but energy cannot.?
nutrients are used up and then excreted by your body one way or another. Energy is never lost, only transferred, therefore it cannot cycle.
Why are wind turbines not 100 percent efficient?
In any machine some energy is always lost as heat. In a wind turbine most of this will be created by friction between parts.
What is the life cycle of glucose?
Sun -(Photosynthesis)> Plant -(Eaten)> Primary consumer (Some energy lost by heat) -(Eaten)> Secondary consumer (Some energy lost by heat) -(Death)> Sun
Why does Glycolysis and the Kreb's cycle do not capture all of the energy in a glucose molecule?
i think Some energy is always lost as heat during chemical reactions
What kind of energy do turbines change heat energy?
OK first some background info. The Moon pulls on the earth's oceans, creating tides as it moves around the earth. so gravitational potential energy is turned into kinetic energy of the water molecules in the oceans. These tides are harnessed by tidal turbines and the kinetic energy is turned into electric potential energy aka electricity. (I'm not sure what the "heat energy" part means but some of the energy is lost to heat during both steps according to the second law of thermodynamics it that's what you're asking)
The production of ATP in photosynthesis is called?
it requires energy to be lost from the downhill movement of the excited electron from photosystem 2 to photosystem 1. the energy lost is coupled to ATP formation
Operation of a combined cycle power plant?
A combined cycle power plant has multiple thermodynamic cycles. This increases efficiency. For example, a gas turbine can be used to produce electricity, but only about 40% of the heat is actually converted in the process. 60% of the heat is lost, and in a single cycle plant would be considered waste heat. In a combined cycle plant, that waste heat could be used to drive a second, steam turbine to produce more electricity. In such a case, the efficiency could be increased from 40% to nearly 60%. It is possible to go further. The waste heat from the combined cycle electric plant can be used to heat buildings, for instance, increasing overall efficiency to more than 65%. This is called Cogeneration.
