Fossil+fuel+power+production

IB Physics > Energy, Power and Climate Change =8.3 FOSSIL FUEL POWER PRODUCTION= 8.3.1 Outline the historical and geographical reasons for the widespread use of fossil fuels. Students should appreciate that industrialization led to a higher rate of energy usage, leading to industry being developed near to large deposits of fossil fuels. 8.3.2 Discuss the energy density of fossil fuels with respect to the demands of power stations Students should be able to estimate the rate of fuel consumption by power stations. 8.3.3 Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages associated with the transportation and storage of fossil fuels. 8.3.4 State the overall efficiency of power stations fuelled by different fossil fuels. Only approximate values are required 8.3.5 Describe the environmental problems associated with the recovery of fossil fuels and their use in power stations.
