What is Fossil Fuel Power Plant?
 Fossil fuel power plant is the
chemical energy stored in fossil
fuels such as coal, fuel oil, natural
gas and oxygen of the air is
converted successively into thermal
energy, mechanical energy and,
finally, electrical energy. It also have
machinery to transform heat energy
of combustion into mechanical
energy, which will then operates an
electrical generator.
How is heat produced?
Thermal energy, or heat, is produced
when the temperature rises, which
causes molecules and atoms to move
quickly and collide each other
Another way heat can be produced
through friction. When two objects
rub against each other, they create
friction which generates heat. This
process can be seen when we rub our
hands together in cold weather to
warm them.
How heat does work to
produce electricity?
The force of the fluid on the
blade will spin the rotor shaft of
a generator. The generator will
then convert the mechanical
energy of the rotor to electrical
energy. The turbine sets the
generators in motion,
generating electricity.

How the laws of thermodynamics are observed in

power plant operation
The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be
created or destroyed. It is used to categories ‘the performance of
cyclic conversion systems like fossil-fired, steam power cycles or
geothermal cycles. Also, it states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed. It can only transformed from one form into another. An
example is combusting a fuel, converting the chemical energy in the
fuel into thermal energy. This is efficient to meausure portion of heat
which would be added to a power cycle. It would then be converted
to work.
