drive shaft

Which part of the power station? What happens here?


Oil → Nothing much is happening here. However, we can see that the
A oil will be burnt in the boiler at B later. Recall, the energy conversion
during burning. It always starts with chemical potential energy.
In the boiler, the purpose is to generate steam by boiling water. This
B
is quite clear that thermal energy (heat) is required.
C At the steam turbine, the steam is used to rotate the turbine (refer to
the right image). A moving turbine means that there is kinetic energy.
The energy from the moving turbine is transferred to the generator
D via the drive shaft. The generator’s purpose is to generate electricity,
which will be transferred via cables to power the city.
