Question

Arrange the following steps of conversion of ocean thermal energy into electricity, in a proper sequence.
(a) The vapour of ammonia or CFC is passed over the turbines of generators.
(b) The hot water from the ocean is used to vapourise the liquid like ammonia or CFC.
(c) Cold water from the ocean depths is used to cool the vapour again into liquid.
(d) This cold liquid is again vapourised and the process continues.

• A. b a c d
• B. c a b d
• C. c b a d
• D. a b c d

Answer 1

The correct option is A b a c d

The hot water in the ocean is used to evaporate liquids like ammonia or CFC. This vapour is used to rotate the turbines of the generator and the vapour is again cooled down to a liquid by using the cold water from the ocean depth. This cooled liquid ammonia or CFC is again vapourised and the above process continues.

Hence correct sequence is b --> a --> c --> d

Option A
