Best Answer

They both use a conventional steam turbine/generator, with a steam circuit that operates on the Rankine cycle (look it up in Wikipedia). This applies particularly to coal fired stations, many natural gas plants now use combustion turbines combined with using the exhaust heat for district heating, but these could be excluded from being 'conventional'.

Which direction does the conventional flow of energy move?

The term "conventional flow" is usually used specifically for electricity, not for any kind of energy. If the current consists of electrons, then, if the electrons move in one direction, the conventional flow (a ficticious flow of positive charge) flows in the opposite direction. If the electric flow consists of positive charges, then the conventional flow and the physical, or real, flow, are in the same direction. An electron current is the most common case, though.
