Question

Electricity is generated using coal in a thermal power plant. Arrange the process flow in ascending order.

• A. Coal combustion
• B. Boiling of water
• C. Steam generation
• D. Turbine rotation

Answer 1

Coal is burnt in a combustion chamber to produce heat which then brings water to its boiling state. Water starts to release steam which in turn rotates the turbines. The turbines are connected to an electric generator to produce electricity.
