Question

What is the correct order of energy conversions associated with a power plant that uses nuclear fission reactions?

thermal to nuclear to mechanical to electrical
thermal to mechanical to nuclear to electrical
nuclear to mechanical to electrical to thermal
nuclear to thermal to mechanical to electrical

Answer 1

CORRECT ANSWER: nuclear to thermal to mechanical to electrical (D) because of the order of the series of conversions. 1.) nuclear energy generates the thermal energy 2.) converts to power 3.) movement creates mechanical energy 4.) something like a generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Basically one big energy chain reaction.
