Energy Production
Across
- 2. a configuration of two water reservoirs at different elevations that can generate power as water
- 4. An energy source formed in the Earth's crust from decayed organic material
- 5. a class of Neutron which are said to be in 'thermodynamic equilibrium' which means they are moving with the same kinetic energy as their surroundings
- 6. those devices which are used to absorb the sun's rays and convert them into electricity or heat
- 7. energy per unit mass
- 9. electricity produced from generators driven by turbines that convert the potential energy of moving water into mechanical energy
- 13. the process by which the wind is used to generate mechanical power or electricity
- 14. the energy that's harvested directly from natural resources
- 16. a type of power station in which heat energy is converted to electrical energy
- 17. The sources which involve transformation process before final use
- 19. the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions
- 20. sources that will run out or will not be replenished in our lifetimes
Down
- 1. The minimum amount of electric power delivered or required over a given period of time at a steady rate
- 2. a nonmechanical device that converts sunlight directly into electricity
- 3. the amount of energy that can be stored in a given system, substance, or region of space
- 8. a system used to transfer heat between a source and a working fluid
- 10. A rod, plate, or tube containing a material such as hafnium, boron, etc., used to control the power of a nuclear reactor
- 11. a medium that reduces the speed of fast neutrons
- 12. visualize material, energy and cost flows shown proportionally to the flow quantity
- 15. energy that is generated from natural processes that are continuously replenished
- 18. to increase the concentration or abundance of a component or isotope in (a solution or mixture); concentrate
